Bo Nickal doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[Goutfather]

All I have said is beat some people before you talk shit.

devils advocate: you have to talk some shit to get “some people” talking about you, which the ufc then uses to promote the fight. even if you’re no nickal. perhaps especially if you’re bo nickal.

 

[locust rising]

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.

I meant your positive assessment confirms the "criticism" and you don't even realize you did it.

Its only his 4th fight.
I thinks theY hype/criticism is appropriate for a guy with a lot of hype IN ONLY HIS 4TH FIGHT HOMIE.

Well, he used a nut shot to get a takedown which then won him the fight.

It is what it is, no matter how sick and tired you are of hearing about it.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

C’mon guys, you have we have to Bo..lieve

Bo knows

 

[chardog]

respect is earned and he hasn't been earning it

 

[Yep]

DayQuil

 

[Yep]

Bo knows

6 months of training and that guy would

Spoiler

still just play baseball and/or football making serious money. Bo and Deion just built different.

So you agree that he's not worth talking about atm?!

 

[killakillakilla]

He got a first round finish in his UFC debut and only his 4th pro fight. I don't really take anything away from it other than he's an Olympic level wrestler who crossed over to MMA at 24 and has dedicated himself for the last 2 and a half years with maximum resources. He's so wet behind the ears in every regard it's insane.

But the potential is significant

yea I agree. I don’t have a solid opinion of him yet except that I think he has tons of potential and that he acts very cocky. But I’m giving it time to see how he develops.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

He did knee the other guy in the balls, though.

Yeah and Yan kneed sterling in the head

 

[DatSamboKid]

Bo Nickal exudes the same kind of energy as Jon Jones, minus the negative aspects like drug use and reckless behavior. I'm referring to the aura of greatness that Jones possessed when he first stepped into the octagon, a feeling that Nickal also inspires. I firmly believe that Nickal possesses all the necessary qualities to establish himself as one of the most prominent figures in this sport.

[Dandy Chiggins]

Isn't it possible that he has maybe just one decent win. Why should he get recognition for beating no bodies and fighting once a year? Over hyped IMO.

 

[Dorkman]

He hasn’t done anything to command respect yet. Kneeing a guy in the pills to get the win who wasn’t even remotely close to a quality fighter dosent get you any respect.

 

[Oscar Madison]

The Over-Energized Sporto is making some noise for to promote his brand. As an up-and-comer MMA fighter -- that's what I'd expect.

Bo is gonna use his attitude and ignorance to overcome growing pains and adversity -- and perhaps find high level success as a cage dude.

But if not -- he's still gonna entertain me!

 

[ChimRichalds]

I mean, he did get that TD due to kneeing homie straight in the nads. No denying it.

He deserves a shit load of respect for his accomplishments as a wrestler, 100%. He's also a fucking hell of a prospect, but that's all he is in MMA. He hasn't done shit in the sport as of yet.

That being said, his future is indeed bright as hell, and there's every chance he lives up to his potential. Just need to see more before talking about him as a legit MMA fighter. We've seen plenty of decorated wrestlers flop.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Is Gore any good? Dont think Ive seen him fight.

I dont know how he got a main card spot over Lawler/Price and especially Brady/JDM but hey, he better produce a HL victory to start the main card off then start throwing him to the wolves already.

 

[Willek]

It's going to be glorious when Bo finally gets slept.

 

[Trabaho]

We have to wait for him to get hit. To show some stand up apart landing a swing. To fight top guys. He most definitely kneed the guy in the balls and lied about it.

He got wrestling adn athleticism. Let's see for more.
