Media Michael Bisping calls Bo Nickal 'The New Brock Lesnar'

[mahavishnunj]

I don't understand the attraction for these NCAA champs to get into Pro Wrasslin'. I guess it's the money? I mean, Pro Wrasslin' is fake acrobatic theater, at least MMA is still an actual sport (well, sort of) and not 100% scripted.

$$$$$

Pro wrestling seems worse than MMA. You'll probably get stuck with some dumbass gimmick, but even if you get past that it's 300 days a year of racking up injuries and destroying your body.

I think thats a bit of an i sult to Bo beleive it or not. Bo has the ability to be a lot more well rounded than Brock but I need to see how he reacts to getting punched in the face first.

In folkstyle wrestling, freestyle wrestling, striking, Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, Bo is already much more skilled than Brock ever was.
Watch Brock's college tape. He wasn't particularly good. Just a BEAST.
Bo is one of the best folkstyle wrestlers of all-time. And we may never know about freestyle, because he had David Taylor as a roadblock. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

 

[Chalky White]

He doesn’t have the charisma or personality of Lesnar. He’s boring and bland.

His selling point would be being The Great Hope at a time where the UFC desperately wants it. He’ll eventually come out wearing the American flag. The UFC wants him to be the next Chris “right place, right time” Weidman.

but does Bo know the recipe for turning chicken shit into chicken salad?



*it's an old Brock quote when he was on TUF years ago, fyi

It's sad that you have to explain the reference. People nowadays try to flip the script and talk about TUF like it was never cool. I don't remember too many people bitching on sherdog about TUF back when it was on Spike TV. We didn't have a free card every weekend, so any MMA on cable was welcomed. At worst, people would fast forward (something called "DVR") through the drama and go straight to the fights, but they were definitely watching. There was some really good, memorable content generated from that series.

yep, with the right combination of coaches there were some very entertaining seasons. Brock of course, the Rampage/Rashad season, Chael/Wanderlei "I can't let you get close!"...good times

The pro wrestlers definitely rack up a lot of injuries, and its life on the road with the traveling circus.

 

[tymikeson]

Umm, no mention of Mark Coleman? Kevin Randleman?
They were both NCAA D1 Champions and UFC champions.

Shane Carwin and Kamaru Usman were both D2 National Champions and UFC Champions (Carwin interim)

Matt Hughes, Cain, Randy, Cormier Tyron Woodley and Dillishaw were all D1 wrestlers that became champions.

Not sure how you arrived at your statement.

Apologies. I meant only one NCAA Division 1 champ below heavyweight was ufc champ.

Hendricks


So his chances are even lower 4%

It's weird.

The only thing pro wrestling and college wrestling have in common is the name.

Pro wrestling is basically a cross between theater and gymnastics.
With steroids.

Spoiler

(Who am I kidding, competitive gymnastics is probably dripping with steroids)

 

[Blue_Ribbon]

Not even close to being the same.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Bo Nickal probably drinks Bud Light.

Damn son

 

[wolfss]

So a smaller Mexican man will come in and f him up soon?

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Except that Brock Lesnar wasn't given easy fights to pad his record. He fought murderers right away.

And Nickal isn't a "nature freak" like Lesnar is, nor he has the same charisma

Not so sure about that comparison

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

When they going to stop feeding him cans?

 

[Yep]

Well then he should take good care of his intestines.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

So he is on the juice? Is this confirmed? How did Bisping find out?

 

[Corona]

There can be only one cock chestnar. Speaking of Bork, I miss the goat era of HWs. Now we have 41 year old inactive firemen fighting for the title. This is almost as bad as the plumber era in the nba.

 

[nonoob]

Honestly, how realistic can a view be when only one eye is looking?
