Bo Nickal is all hype

[Mystic Mac Miller]

He's a bit full of himself for having beaten nobodies but the hype is justified. Elite wrestling and good hands. His style is tailor made to tear through MW.

all hype until he beats ranked guys

pushing 30 and has yet to fight anyone that is ranked

 

[Mystic Mac Miller]

Hype?
How about just saying he has potential.
Can't really knock the dude for "just starting his MMA career".
Khamzat is someone with hype.

Khamzat has beaten ranked dudes, Nickal is trailer trash that was abused as a child and has yet to beat anyone ranked

Khamzat Wolfman still has to prove himself at MW in the UFC.

Can we at least wait until the guy loses a fight before calling him a can?

Kinda hard when he’s fighting cans

So far. Eventually it will change and we will see how legit he is.

 

[Goutfather]

Hasn't fought anyone who is ranked yet but gets lauded as the future GOAT because he was a championship-level college wrestler. Dude is all hype, no fight.

By his age, Jon Jones had already defended the belt many times while No Go Bo hasn't even fought a ranked opponent yet.

Cannot wait for Khamzat to traumatize him worse than a kid in a Penn St locker room.

idk if it’s fair to say he’s “all hype,” but he’s definitely unproven. comparing anyone to jon jones is silly. nobody else has ever done what he’s done.

Way too early to tell. The last guy he beat was ranked 58. He’s only ranked 44 himself. He looks good against people that will never even hit top 30. But once you hit top 15 pretty much every fight will get tougher, and harder. You can be the best wrestler. But if you can’t punch, and kick. Or take strikes. You aren’t going anywhere most likely.

I don’t hop on hype trains. I just watch what happens to them.

Yea the top 10 of most division in the UFC in a buzzsaw. we have seen K1 Goats getting knocked out(Badr Hari) and we have seen BJJ legends and GOATS submitted(Rodolfo Viera). If you cant mix the martial arts and come up with a solid base that can handle all bad situations against a well rounded top 10 opponent you are gonna get shredded. he gives the same vibe as Ryan hall who was having no issue with his BJJ only approach until he was beaten to half death once he hit that top 10 against a well rounded topuria.

He's just the latest Dana White Privilege guy, I'll wait til he beats a few top 30 guys before I start paying attention

If you say his name fast it’s like when Wu tang Clan says the N word. This appeals to a large portion of the MMA fan base here apparently.

 

[djason1988]

He's a 4 time national championship and one of the best wrestlers in the country

What are you talking about

He has some of the best wrestling credentials out of anyone that's ever fought in MMA

The Olympics are the definitive world championships. Cormier, Henderson, and askren were all on the team, cejudo was a gold medalist, Romero a silver. As for D1 champions, the list is a mile long. Hell, sherdog itself has a list of d1 Champs that competed in mma. Nickals has all the potential in the world, but we've seen several top tier wrestlers fall short in mma.

Classy post. Jokes about sexual assault are hilarious!

Moral police whee-oo whee-oo

 

[tymikeson]

like i said in previous threads,

only 1 NCAA div.1 wrestling champ (of 25 to compete in ufc) in UFC history below heavyweight has become a UFC champion - Johnny hendricks


He has a 4% chance to become a champ

He's shown some skill but really hasnt had his chin, heart and cardio tested at all so far.

The issue tends to be that fightsport fans LOVE to get behind the idea of an unbeatable monster, they latch onto new talent which has yet to face adversity so hasn't shown any weaknesses, its easier to imagine such fighters are unbeatable gods.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

That's not very nice.

Didnt Dana make him get a second win in contender series before giving him a contract.
That doesnt seem like privelage. Seems like work.
