This would be entering Jake Paul vs Joshua territory

That’s a ridiculous comparison. Bo at least has had an incredible competitive wrestling career both collegiate and otherwise. Paul is a hype job YouTuber that injected his way to a puffy “hw” build 😂 and tried his luck against one of the top 3 best HW boxers of the past decade and a half. It’s quite literally incomparable. I’m not saying Bo vs sudalev is a “fair” matchup but it’s at least in the realm of reason and not just a puppy vs pit bull type of match like Paul’s marketing farce.

You must have missed his fight vs Vieira. Right leg: hospital. Left leg: cemetery.

No, I saw it alright.

I just didn’t think we were giving Bo a nickname based on one high kick, which compares him to the greatest high kicker of all-time.

Seems like a rash decision.
 
For those that don't watch International Freestyle Wrestling this dude Sadulaev is probably the best wrestler of his generation. He is a machine, I'm not sure at this point in time you can put anyone on the mat with him and have it be truly competitive (assuming Sadulaev is healthy).

Now with that said he did lose to Tazhudinov. Sadulaev claimed injury, looked funky, but who knows. If you wanted to make a truly competitive match then there is your guy.

Here is uncle Chael discussing Sadulaev possibly avoiding Tazhudinov. Starts at 3:55

According to a wrestling coach my son and I train with, Sadulaev was Tazhudinov's youth coach before he left to compete for Bahrain. So it's understandable Sadulaev has mixed feelings about competing against him.

Tazhudinov was on fire in 2023 and 2024 when he not only beat Sadulaev but teched Kyle Snyder and then beat him 6-4 at the Olympics. But he couldn't get it done in 2025 when he lost to eventual silver medalist Azarpira before taking Bronze, with Snyder winning gold at worlds.

I would watch the shit out of any match up involving Tazhudinov, Sadulaev, Snyder or Azarpira at 97 kg. Sadulaev is now 3-2 vs. Snyder (granted 1 L was via forfeit). But Bo Nickal doesn't belong in that discussion lol.

Well, you thought wrong. Bocop has arrived and he’s coming for that strap.

I will say Bo impressed me a ton with his striking improvements, though he was fighting a slow-footed plodding bricked-up grappler that looked shook from the onset of the fight.

But c'mon Sherbro....calling him Bocop off one head kick is downright criminal disrespect to a legend.

Bo would get absolutely rolled up. I'd rather see Sadulaev against Wyatt Hendrickson.
 
Sadulaev would absolutely maul him.

He's been running through World/Olympic medalists since he was a teenager. He's like 17 or 18 here:
