Media Bo Nickal on his plan for title shot

[Red Lantern]

Idk about the 2 more unranked guys idea. Kinda suck if it happens imo.

 

[7 others]

Don't know why he isn't fighting more often

He always end fights without being hurt (seemingly)

 

[Domitian]

He's trying to manage his career smartly and people will find a reason to hate on that. He's 6-0 and doesn't even have a full 3 years in MMA. If you watched his last fight it's pretty clear he still has work to do to get better.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

I hope it works out for him.

It's about to be 2025, he began training in 2019 for MMA and had his amateur debut in 2021 after falling short in the 2020 Olympic trials to David Taylor the eventual gold medal winner. I'd say he has more than 3 years at this point and regardless, if he's shredding through cans and taking no damage he could at least be more fucking active.

 

[Gabe]

He’s got this whole spoon fed plan laid out. The UFC will happily comply.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Smart. He'll have his seventh fight in a little less than two and a half years in November against Craig. As much as I'm pulling for American wrestlers like him and Kamaru I'm just not sure he has what it takes yet. I hope the plan comes together for him, he has a lot of work to do.

I'd like to see him be more active too. That said, he does have a fight booked for UFC 309 against Paul Craig.

Craig is a pretty big step up for an inexperienced 6-0 fighter. We'll see how he does.

But when he's fighting regional bums who are full time lawn mowers, 13-9 cannon fodder and 9-5 regional junior college wrestler guys...surely he can fight more than twice a year? Lol. Meanwhile, Rinya Nakamura a more decorated wrestler isn't getting fights either, what the fuck? I hate the inactivity of this sport.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

I guess thats a good layout...he is not ready yet imo, not even close.

He had his first 5 fights in 13 months. Then his 6th fight nine months later. Who knows what was going on with him in that time?

He fought in April and now fighting in November. That's pretty standard.

I sour on him because he clearly lays this out as the plan but also in interviews say that he can beat the top 5 guys easily right now..

Yeah he has people talking about him and wanting to watch him fight. Bo is a fucking genius when it comes to marketing himself and making people invested in him.

No seriously he's parlayed the interest in watching him fight into like a $150,000 per fight contract. Getting all these PPV main card slots too. Bo is like the premier example right now for some inexperienced fighter to do it big for themselves.

A fighter can’t market himself if he’s a ginger, let alone an unlikeable one with no charisma. We’ve never had a ginger champion and I like to keep it that way.

We've never had a ginger champion? That's hilarious but can't be true can it?

Exactly. He also just had a kid. God forbid he spends time with his new baby and wife after diving birth

 

[doggo]

Meh, fuck em. Can't wait to see him lose a fight.

Name one.

 

[Domitian]

Name one.

I'm trying!!!
