Bo Nickal doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[CainWasAble]

He looks amazing they are developing him too slowly IMO. I wanna see him sink or swim against elite competition. He should have gotten a top 20/30 fight instead of Gore.

 

[Fergelmince]

The dude is much more athletic than you would think

Nope. Wrestling is the worst base for fighting.

 

[Mcnugget]

bo vs khamzat

 

[Mcnugget]

Nope. Wrestling is the worst base for fighting.

What’s the best

What’s the best

Karate. GSP is the best, and his base is karate.

He needs to step it up. Brock was UFC Champion by his 4th fight...

lol

I remember that era, people were so unhappy on Sherdog when he won the title and then pulverized Mir. I remember a thread that said, "Only Fedor can save us now."

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.

Your troll right?

Ah...a new hype train. Should be fun to sit back and watch this one get derailed like all the rest.

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Even “hater” is probably a strong word, since most people just want to see him win a few legit fights(without kneeing somebody in the balls).

I haven't seen tons of hatred. What most people say is true.

He's overhyped. He's green. He hasn't fought anyone with a name. He kneed a guy in the balls and everyone pretends it didn't happen. He's arrogant and douchey for having accomplished very little so far.

Give him a name already if he and his fans think he's the next best thing. But if they're going to build him up slowly and give him favorable matchups, then just STFU until he does something worthy of respect.

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 mean, I was more impressed with Khamzat in his near loss to Burns than I was with Bo in his recent win over Pickett. If they fought each other now there’s no way I’d pick Bo to win. But I’m down to wait it out and see what happens.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Bo doesn't belong on the UFC 290 main card over Brady vs Jack Della, it's a joke.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Bo Nickal is a Noob he don't deserve nuttin.

Cleaning up fights early in your career when you are good is normal. Lots of average fighters some to UFC with perfect record full of finishes. Yes Bo is a great prospect, but Mike Perry was too at one point. The question is if he can continue when the competition gets harder.

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

While we're on the topic of Bo, just thought I'd share this video of him and Gordon Ryan grappling competitively (just came across this myself a couple days ago):

He has done literally nothing to deserve all this respect you think he deserves sir.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

i don't hate the guy but people talk about him like he's the 2nd coming. they even acted like his striking was great but it really isn't.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

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

 

[aogiri]

3-0 on a PPV main card
4-0 on an upcoming PPV main card against Mr. 4-2 Gore. Truly high level, PPV worthy content
Seems he is getting a lot more than he deserves.
