Bo Nickal on RDR - "When I tried to take him down I took him down. It's not like he could stop me from doing that"

[JustforBROCK]

I watched the whole thing. He was surprisingly humble and very critical of himself. I still think his body language was a big red flag in that fight, but he's got the right attitude. Bo might end up being alright.

Do you believe this statement? To me it seemed like he tried in round two but was unsuccessful.

he needs more humbling

Not only does he not have great skills for MMA, but he also has no knack for the game. When you look at Randy, he wasn't a great striker or submissionist, and didn't have the pure leg TD ability of freestyle wrestlers, but he had this knack for doing what it took to win- dirty boxing, clench work, TDs, knees, etc. Bo has nothing like that.

 

[Ronin13]

Was he expecting two points for a takedown or something. MMA isn’t wrestling

Bo needs to lay off the copium.

 

[DrTrouble]

I guess Bo let RDR drove his knees through Bo's liver too. Lol

 

[DiazSlap]

Bum Nickal with the answer you would expect from a bum who lost and gave up.

It was all part of Boe’s plan to tire out RDR by letting him assault him.

 

[DiazSlap]

He's leaning into his gimmick hard or he's really dense.

I would go with the latter…

 

[SamuraiBro]

He was afraid to because of the sub threat, similar to Craig he wanted a sparring match.
Does anyone else think his best way fwd is the old school blast double & gnp, coleman/tito style?

Seems like a lot of fighters nowadays are scared to do that incase they lose position or get swept. More takedowns out in the open to ground n pound would work a lot more. The fence is great but also gives the opponent more chances to get up or reverse.

He couldn't take him down because RDR never even gave him an opportunity to get started

 

[stalehotdog]

Wish RDR would have hit him with the finisher he had planned, but Bo took the knee in subservience.

Jesus.. what fight is that?

 

[Khaosan]

This moron just can’t help himself.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Jesus.. what fight is that?

Wish I could tell you brother, one of a million nameless fights in Thailand I assume. Looks to be early to mid 2000s, I'm sure that one of the Muay Thai aficionados of the forum could tell you if we could get them out of the cigarette smoke filled hostel or wherever they are.

so much fun watching this

 

[Howard Moon]

He didn't learn anything. Sad : (

More funny than sad, IMO. Watching a smug arrogant dumbass work harder on his excuses than on improving his game is always funny to me.
Never change, Bo!
