Bo Nickal look fantastic according to…

Bo Nickal himself.





This dude is just plain unlikeable and talks a big game but fights like Clay Guida.

Hope he gets his block knocked off soon.

Not like they gave Bo a layup. People sleep on Paul Craig... the guy has beaten the top guys at 205.

UFC has entered a long-term crisis. Here is the list of must-do things to solve the issue:
- Lock Bum Nickel in prelims
- Bum Nickels mouth is duct taped since he is entering the arena until leaving, including fighttime in the octagon
- Media not allowed to talk or interact in any way with Bum Nickel, accreditation immediately gets canceled if someone does so
- Bum Nickel gets fined for any attention stunts
- Bum Nickel gets fined 70% if fight ends up a decision
- Bum Nickel gets fined up to 90% if his opponent not visibly damaged
list is incomplete, but this few steps will help solving the current UFC stagnancy crisis

Come on man…Craig’s stand up is Ben Askren level and Bo the self proclaimed phenom did basically nothing

I'm not sure what everyone's complaining about

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Bo Nickal was never my friend

It's fine to have lackluster performances, but when you say stuff like you can beat Khamzat, become MW champ, can beat Izzy etc, people will be quick to criticize you

Bo Nickal: 'There's not really a chance in the world' Israel Adesanya can stop me from submitting him

Bo Nickal’s big talk before even making his official UFC debut continues with his thoughts on fighting Israel Adesanya.

Aside from his stinker with Maynard, Guida fought like an animal and put on some memorable fights…

 

[Söze Aldo]

Is Bo another example of how American collegiate wrestling doesn't translate as well to MMA wrestling compared to Eastern grappling styles? He's not the first American wrestler to turn into a boxer and/or kickboxer in the cage (Chandler's another one). Meanwhile, fighters like Islam and Chimaev, despite incorporating striking into their repertoire, never seem to move away from wrestling in the cage.

You need to buy Bo for what he's worth, and then sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Whatever, not gonna judge the guy based on one fight, he’s looked dominant enough in all his other fights so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. If he makes uneventful decisions a habit however, I’ll change my tune, but everyone can have an off fight due to matchup or whatever else.

Paul Craig is a massive MW and Bo is a little on the smaller side. imho
size matters..

Clay was exciting when on the wrong end of a fight. Given the opportunity stall out and controll a fight he'd take it everytime

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

The biggest thing for me is BO is only 6 fights into his career and only fights twice a year. He should be racking up fights against the bottom end of the division fighting often on free cards to build real hype and interest. Instead the UFC are forcing him upon fans with a inorganic hype that no one is buying.

Bo Nickal is a better fighter than half the bums you make nostalgia threads about.

That was surprising -- dimensionally, Craig looked big but was getting tagged by the smaller sporty Bo.

Bo was taking his Fight IQ seriously -- risk management throughout that fight.

Hype isn’t inorganic. Bo Nickal was star with a big following well before he joined the UFC.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Bo even had to beat a guy twice the size of him

 

[Meathead Jock]

Bo looked small. What's he weigh in at? Does he cut anything? Any chance he ends up at 170, they didn't look the same weight class.
