News Super Prospect BO NICKAL has first MMA fight next Friday

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Theres NOBODY at 205 that can stop his take downs. Bo Nickals style is PERFECT for MMA.

I wouldn't say its perfect but 205 has always been shallow as hell so he'll do great

Lol what? Ruth lost the the current champ and the former champ.

???? he just got heel-hooked by a bellator washout

The Johnson fight was a tactical error though. I don't know what he was thinking. Ruth has terrible fight IQ in general.

having bad BJJ technique and incorrectly defending a leg lock is not a tactical error. the amount of excuses y’all are coming up with for these losses is insane.

Taylor is good at leglocks, it's something he goes for a lot. Ruth got over relaxed in the situation and realised he'd fucked up too late. Exact same thing Gastelum did with Jack Hermansson.

common thread there. remind me what gastelum’s background is?

Lol stop. He has 2 losses to champs and got caught by a sneaky heel hook. You're reaching so hard with this narrative

Lol he doesn't have bad bjj. Taylor just has a solid leg lock game.

it’s the only leg lock he’s ever gotten.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

it’s the only leg lock he’s ever gotten.

He attacks them often.

Ruth has a lot of success in bjj. He is a well rounded grappler which has been proven by his ability to be competitive with amasov and Gracie.

ncaa wrestling isn’t enough

What a moron you are.

'NCAA champs lose some MMA fights so they obviously suck'

You could literally post memes of every prospect losing a fight in a major org. 99% of fighters will never be undefeated or champions.

Bo Nickal wrestled Josh Hokit from Fresno State in the NCAAs and threw him around like a child. Hokit is on the 49ers practice squad as a full back.

It's really hard to take this question seriously because you could easily just look it up and see how many there are...but choose not to in order to make a ridiculous statement like this...so what gives?

then why can’t you name any? just name one

 

[CorninginChristianburg]

then why can’t you name any? just name one

Because there are so many...

I don't remember the first day everyone entered the rankings so I'll just list ranked NCAA fighters...some of them are older than when Colby first entered but whatever, they're still in the rankings.

Alex Perez. Joseph Benavidez. Tim Elliott. Aljamain Sterling. TJ Dillashaw. Cody Garbrandt. Frankie Edgar. Cody Stamann. Josh Emmett. Dan Ige. (Honorable Mention: Bryce Mitchell, didn't wrestle NCAAs but was a notable high school wrestler who went to MMA early). Justin Gaethje. Michael Chandler. Tony Ferguson. Gregor Gillespie. The aforementioned, Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. Neil Magny. Derek Brunson. Kelvin Gastelum. Chris Weidman. Stipe Miocic. Curtis Blaydes.

Like I don't get why you just assert something without taking a moment even to think "hmmm, are there any counterexamples?"

those guys have all been around for a decade plus. aljo is an acceptable answer but he’s been ranked about as long as colby/usman. obviously you struggle to understand really simple concepts but i’ll try to make it even easier for you.

who was the last american wrestling MMA prospect to pan out successfully and reach a decently high ranking?

You're trying to mock my intelligence but obviously everyone here has found yours rather lacking so...chill...

The average age of ranked UFC fighters is itself around 33-34 so the fact that most ranked fighters have been around as long as Usman and Colby who are 33 and 34 is not surprising.

Which is really just part of your stupidity. You'll take like a 28 year old guy with a handful of losses and be like "oh he's a bust" well, he's about 5 years from the time where fighters normally enter the rankings. The generation that should be in the rankings is the generation that I just listed.
