Media Robert Whittaker brutally honest on Bo Nickal fight

[Unheralded Truth]

Bo Nickal defeating Cody Brundage by submnission, what did you think?

- Ugh, I don't care. You know? I don't care. I don't care for Cody Brundage very much, and I think we saw some holes in Bo Nickal's game.
You know, Bo Nickal finally got a guy that he couldn't just do what he wanted with, and Cody Brundage isn't, like, the best fighter in the world.
Like, finally Bo Nickal vs a dude that can kind of wrestle and kind of strike, and he didn't look as good as he has previously. Because he's
been going through shoo-ins, for him. But yeah, it is what it is. I think he's got some work to do before he's gonna be ready to fight top 10 dudes.

You know you're ass when nice guy Whittaker doesn't even have anything nice to say about you.

inb4 Bo Nickal says he'd be a -100000 favorite against Whittaker

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Bobby’s knuckles would stop the wrestling of Bo

 

[HunterAcosta]

“ But , But!! My D 1 WrASslIn!”

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Bobby Knucks keeping it real, here.

It's the equivalent of Brock Lesnar struggling with Jake O'Brien back in 2008, and the UFC acting like that wouldn't have done serious harm to his hype.

Who looked better 6 fights in, Ed Ruth or Bo Nickal?

 

[SuperNerd]

Nothing really brutal about that.

It's maybe even nice.

 

[dog y]

Who are the best wrestlers at that weight currently?

 

[mjfan23]

that’s just an honest opinion

Inb4 it actually happens

Inb4 Bo wins and Sherdog has a meltdown

 

[MaulingMyClown]

Lol at the haters...he is 6 fights into his career and this is only his 3rd UFC fight. Let's relax a bit and see what happens. I'm excited as hell to see how his career plays out.

 

[J'Ghasta]

I love how no one even calls him the reaper and just calls him bobby knuckles. You cant be called the reaper when youre as nice as wonderboy.

 

[Copper Burner]

One mediocre night at the office (submission victory) and now Bo sucks lol.

Styles make fights. Cody is one of those fighters that is hard to deal with. Bo probably thought he was going to run him over as did everyone else. He learned some things, and will improve because of it. That is what winners do.

If Bo is still around at UFC 400 maybe he can redeem himself.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Who looked better 6 fights in, Ed Ruth or Bo Nickal?

Depends on perspective. They had similar paths, but Ruth lost fight #6, to Nieman Gracie. I think Gracie is the best fighter either fought in their first six fights, though.

I love Mr Knuckles but he despises Brundage for the way he took a soft DQ win against his boy Malkoun so he was probably really hoping that Bo would put a beating on him. He also makes a point of not getting friendly with or praising other middleweight contenders since there's a good chance he'll have to try to break his face or snap his knee ligaments at some point in the future.

Man I thought Ed Ruth was gonna be the next big thing. At this point I’d Nickal though. There was another guy that was hyped Joey Davis not sure what happened to him though

he sucked when he kicked that guy in the balls to secure a takedown in his debut. he's on the most fragile hypetrain i've seen in a long time.
