Media Bo Nickal: Chimaev gives me confidence for a return - but I'm his biggest threat

[Unheralded Truth]

He’d probably get KOd lol

That's an interesting point. He quickly put Valentine Woodburn down with strikes, for a TKO win to be fair.

Should they somehow end up facing each other, the wrestling from both could make it a stand-up fight. Does Bo have it in him to drop guys on the level of Burns and Aliskerov?
Or rather, does he have the defense to avoid those kind of shots that we have seen from Chimaev? The latter may just skip wrestling altogether against Bo.

 

[Chagaev]

On paper he has the tools, but his wrestling didn't look impressive so far.

 

[prime_lobov]

Give him the shot, Dana. Nobody cares about Imavov or wants to see him get laid on for 5 rounds. Everyone wants to see Boseph Nickal get brutally retired by Khamzat. In the unlikely event he doesn’t get KO’d, maybe he actually does prove to be Khamzat’s kryptonite. Either outcome is highly entertaining.

The level of delusion with some of these people is shocking.

Totally agree. Just throwing out 2 letters for Bo, one repeated a bunch.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Khaosan]

ROFL...this guy just needs to STFU. I have never seen someone who is so mediocre yet, is brimming with confidence.

You’ve clearly never posted in the War Room.

 

[volcom5]

No, Bo Nickal progress in MMA is at turtles pace, what exactly is he trying improve on? His striking? By the time his striking gets adequate he’ll be at the end of his career. What he needs to do is focus on his grappling, submissions and ground and pound, too bad he’s too stubborn and believes his wrestling is enough.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Thats a completely unbiased reliable take.

 

[torturescorcher]

He needs to fight more. He is cruising along like a semi retired fighter. Him and a number of others need to take a page out of Kevin Hollands book. Kevin deserves a
belt around his waist (not his head) for staying active.

 

[stronghulk]

To the man who calls himself the Bo Jackson of combat sports.. Khamzat would knock you out.

 

[xhaydenx]

I love the crap this dude says. Always entertaining.

Seeing Chimaev wrestlefuck DDP for 5 rounds makes him think he can do that even though he couldn't even outwrestle RDR at all lol.

Never change, Bo.

A seven-year old boy challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Bum Nickal, whom the boy firmly believes Bum Nickal is not capable of beating anyone.

Dude was getting tired in rd 2 vs RDR before being stopped. Glad he's confident his cardio would hold up. That makes one of us...

I wouldn't say he was tired. He was losing and didn't like it. In the end he tried swinging. RDR was just better. Bo wilted.

 

[188912345]

Bo is clearly several levels below Khamzat in MMA-wrestling, and as an MMA-fighter in general.

 

[Hotora86]

Even if we assume that Bo and Chim's wrestling nullify each other, Chim KOs Bo on the feet.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Unless its Dan Severn, we all know the American wrestlers are gonna strike and not just only wrestle, its a shame. Their biggest flaw.

 

[Dionysian]

Same here. About as good of a match as any other contenders.

Worse match than anyone with a legit ranking. Based on Bo being objectively worse than them

Literally all he has going for him is the "I heard from another American casual that this guy will be champ" card. Humorous that meme went as long as it did when it was clear his skill level wasn't elite for like 5 fights now.

I was there and pretty close to the cage. He was tired. Not full on gassed or anything, but absolutely tired. Remember he posted a pic of him weighing super heavy just a few days before the fight. He's a lifelong wrestler so knew how to make weight but imo that cut took a lot out of him.

 

[93confirmed]

I was one of the few people that like him but jumped off the wagon after all the ridiculous shit talking the last few interviews. He's a clown.

Nah I am sure he got tired from his fear. He got hit a little from a sub average hitter. And basically was ready to cry. And quit there. Panicing makes us gassed. He's more of an athlete and grappler than he is a fighter. It's too brutal for him. Thus far. Maybe he will upgrade.
