News Bo Nickal calls Khamzat's wrestling 'trash': 'I wouldn't even say mid'

[ChimRichalds]

Bo is doing what makes you money in the UFC. Talking shit about contenders. Problem for him is that his best win is Jamie fuckin Pickett. He should fight again in a few months with a decent step up in competition. Fight somebody like Mark Andre Barriault or Rodolfo Viera. He dominates guys like that, then his shit talking starts sounding legit.

I like the idea of Bo/Vieira. He probably keeps that fight standing, and he's gotta prove he can hang when he can't go right to his wrestling.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Sure, cause he was so successful at tds vs a former 155lb fighter.

He was successful, he just didn't want to grapple with a world champion BJJ guy. No one is afraid of grappling with Costa.

 

[swarrrm]

Khamzat is going to beat Costa so easily it's going to be hilarious.

Dude can't even win fights with 20 lb weight advantages and has pillowfists himself. Who has Costa finished besides geezers? No one. He's the most overrated fighter since Ben Askren. lol

GM3 would probably give Costa a run for his money.

Khamzat actually has KO'ed fighters in 1 punch. Costa can't finish a sandwich at this point in his career.

He's going to be smaller and weaker for the first time, also trolled to death in the buildup. A single interaction where he did the "hold me back" routine with Costa caused him to have an emotional breakdown and miss weight by 9 pounds. He won't be able to handle it, Costa by stoppage.

Is Bo the next Gregor Gillespie?

Costa is going to get annihilated and sent to the prelims and it's going to be glorious.

He could have a 50lb weight advantage on Khamzat and Khamzat would still murder this overrated assclown

 

[Pechan]

lol this from the guy that had trouble submitting a compromised Pickett?

 

[SG123]

Costa fought Luke at altitude, wasn’t his best showing due to that. Luke looked gassed as well for that matter

Luke also fought Costa at altitude - point is Costa struggled with a shot Rockhold

Overrated lol. Khamzat fought one ranked guy, a chinny lightweight, he lost. Now he's going to run through the top middleweights. The difference between Burns and Costa when it comes to size and power is enormous. Weight classes are there for a reason. Imagine Costa getting one shot ko'd by Dan Hooker bahaha. Costa by stoppage.

That 1 ranked win is 1 more ranked win than Costa has lolol

Your boy has 0 wins over UFC fighters. Literally has wins over retired fighters and that's it. Oh and 6000000000 year old Romero who arguably beat him. Very arguably beat him.

Your boy is 100% the most overrated fighter since Ben Askren, no question.

He's going to run through Costa. Costa isn't a top MW though. Only delusional people think Costa is a top MW. He shouldn't even be ranked.

Khamzat factually has more wins over MWs on the UFC roster than Costa does. Reality must suck. Gonna suck for your boy when reality sets in for him to when he's getting violated on the mat.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

He’d probably say that Habib had shit wresslin as well. He’s been programmed to look at someone’s wresslin based on traditional murican style ( folkstyle/freestyle ). So from that point of view, he’s probably saying it from the bottom of his heart lol.

What Bo is about to find out is that an mma match isn’t a wresslin competition. When punches, kicks, knees, elbows are going down and a fighters back is against the cage or grabs it…. it might be way harder to take the lesser grappler.

 

[Dr Guildo]

Hahaha. An American college-wrestler telling a russian-based wrestler is shit. I have heard it all now.

Bo nickal would be the easisest fight for Khamzat. He could KO him inside 1 min but i probably think he will just dominate him on the ground, carrying him around, making him look like a fool.

 

[Asahi]

Bo better keep that energy when Chimaev ragdolls Costa in total destruction.

 

[Pierced7681]

Luke also fought Costa at altitude - point is Costa struggled with a shot Rockhold

Luke is a tough out for anyone if you don’t chin him early, no shame in Costa winning a decision against a former champ

 

[VinceArch]

That's silly. He needs to fight. Already embracing the UFC vacation lifestyle. They actually fight in the PFL.

Glad you agree then.

 

[chinarice]

Luke was checked out of that entire fight and Costa scraped by, by the skin of his teeth.

They both looked awful. By far the worst Luke has ever looked.

 

[Normot]

Hahaha. An American college-wrestler telling a russian-based wrestler is shit. I have heard it all now.

Well he has tech filled a bunch of Russians in international competition. You know wrestling is an individual sport right? You may have heard it all, but you don't know it all.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Nickal talks a whole lot of shit.

We'll see how he does.

I think Khamzat is going to walk through Costa.

Costa struggled with Luke and wasnt able to finish him.

LMAO, Costa beat Rockhold 30-27 and some media scorecards were 30-26. All Rockhold could do was land occasional shots and bleed on him.

 

[Normot]

Lets not go by theory or the size of the fish pond one has competed in and Doesn't show us anything or who would have won in a wrestling match between them.. That's the fucking bottomline truth

Here is Bo beating the best Russian wrestler at the time in his weight:

Khamzat wasn't competing there because he is so far from the top echelon of Russian wrestlers.

 

[chardog]

he's setting himself up for a meteoric rise or a whole lot of crow. Either way, it's working, because I want to see him fight even more now.

 

[Superior]

He talks waaaaay to much for someone who has done jack shit in MMA.
