Bo Nickal doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Marketing Plans -- Khamzat vs Nickal

Both Loud and Proud.

Both want to take on everyone (supposedly).

A tale of two Hype Trains!
 
Bo doesn't belong on the UFC 290 main card over Brady vs Jack Della, it's a joke. Bo also said to Ariel he might refuse to fight if they don't give him main card spots because he feels he's "a big deal". Also when he talks about fighting ranked guys and how he'd beat them, when they call him out he pack pedals and says those fights don't make sense yet...then when media question him about it, he postures and says that he would fight them tomorrow lmao. I don't like the guys personality but he's a phenomenal prospect, will always tune in.
This is exactly how I feel. He has an arrogant and off putting attitude.
 
I think his last fight hurt his stock a bit as far as mma fans go. If he dominates his next fight you can expect some hype from it. I think a lot of fans hope he eventually rivals Khamzat
 
He is 1 of the most hyped up fighters ever considering how early he is in his MMA career, 3 or 4 fights in. There has seldom been this much hype for a guy in the modern era who has only had 3 fights. So no, he isn't being disrespected, & there are already people saying he could become champ really fast too

Khamzat nearly lost to Burns, I'm not sure why people are so confident he's going to be a champ at 185lbs. I mean, he might be but I wouldn't be surprised if he got grinded out by a guy like Vettori or picked apart by Izzy and Whittaker. He really hasn't shown us a ton yet.
 
I'm sick......

Sick and tired of hearing the same shit about Bo. "Bo kneed his opponent in the balls", "Bo struggled to get the submission", "Bo cant throw a headkick"... really? So this what doing now? Submitting an opponent in under 3 minutes of the first round with no damage taken is not good enough? Yall need to realize that this man just had his 4th MMA bout.

As we all know, wrestlers dominate MMA and I can see Bo being the next DC in a few years time. The man is young, tight, and right. Stop complaining that he isnt fighting ranked opponents. Yall must be dumb af if you think he should be fed ranked opponents this early on in his career.

UFC 290. July 9th. Prepare to be amazed. Prepare to apologize.

Disrespected? He's considered a top prospect and he had one (1) fight in UFC, which he won by hitting his opponent in the balls.
Are people supposed to, what, hug his balls and crown him champion already? He's hyped as fuck. What more do you want?
 
Most fans love this prospect and can't wait to see what he does.

A few contrarian sherdoggers segue off that adoration and play devil's advocate and hate on the guy, because it's the internet and that's what people do.

Countering those few contrarians with "like OMG no one respects him!" is just....cheesy.
Wow, an immediate, proper & logical response to a thread on Suredawg. Now you don't see that everyday, like once in a blue moon. Almost like a Khamzat fight
 
Has he done anything worth a fuck? he deserves nothing... I preparing to scoff at yet another lack luster performance...

Lmao you have to actually do shit to get credit for it. Hes brand new in mma. If he is as good as you think then the credit is soon to follow.
 
Like 3 people out of the entire MMA fan base say they need to see more before rating him and all of Sherdog gets their feelings hurt.

I know next to nothing about him beyond he's a good wrestler. Has his chin been tested?

He has potential but I'll wait and see how he goes when he fight someone a bit higher ranked
 
Hope you feel better TS
Lots of rest and fluids

I don't even care if he fouled, the refs allow them free all the time, so it's almost meta to throw them in. Bo Nickal is bringing some serious wrestling to a division with almost no wrestlers, I'm excited for it. I thought Muniz was the guy, but now maybe Bo will be.

That gif screams prime Hendo. I cannot find a gif of it, but there is the video of him throwing an overhead and then immediately going for the takedown.
