Bo Nickal fights tonight.
- Thread starter el dub
- Start date
We will see how cool, calm and collected he is when he gets kicked in the side of the head or dropped from a punch and has a guy raining down punches and elbows.
Yes. However, this was only his second pro fight.
They will probably bring him along slowly and let him develop for a number of years before feeding him to the wolves.
Looks like you need to stream showtime or have it in your cable package.
But i didnt look all that close.
i love how someone asks a question on here and minutes later you get your answer.
Maybe, and maybe not. I mean, it took Askren 20 fights before he lost. Usman and Covington, who are wrestlers, had no problem beating Jorge Masvidal. Jorge Masvidal is also one of Bo Nickal’s friends and primary training partner so I would imagine he is training to defend those flying knees. That said, I love a good flying knee- the most exciting finish in MMA.
The same thing that happens with all the other bs that comes out his mouth….nothing.
I assume these folks won’t tolerate yet another no-show competition from III, so this may be the last we hear of events he’ll show up and dominate … ?
I had just looked at the weigh-in results and thought to myself holy sh*t he actually showed up and made weight. lol
I have a feeling MMA is something he will do well at.
UFC prolly learned a valuable lesson watching A Pico in his first few fights on Bellator. Lol
PD3's opponent is now 0-4. Bo Nickal's opponent was 3-0 before the fight
I think just showing USA like they would a letter on wheel of fortune
Ok, I'm used to them grabbing the front of their singlet and puffing it out, patting the USA emblem. .When did they move away from that? The gesture looks nothing like that. Slashing across their abdomen must be a new variant.
Wheel of Fortune analogy is a stretch. Lol

It looks like he has a wrestling tattoo but in a state outline that doesn’t look very good.
As much of a d bag that I think the kid is, he’s impressed the hell out of me so far. Has some definite power in his punches, his transition from submission attempts looked great, and he can obviously wrestle! Only thing yet to see so far is if he can take a punch. I hope he can’t and gets Ben Askrened, but I’m guessing he won’t go that easy.
I cheer for wrestlers in MMA / UFC matches because I love wrestling and I think it is great for the sport of wrestling when wrestlers have success in MMA. I understand why non-PSU wrestling fans do not like Bo given his unapologetic hyping of the PSU wrestling program. However, his cockiness and sh-t talking is common in the UFC and is a recipe for financial success. Bo will go as far as his chin allows him and, if he is successful, the announcers will discuss his wrestling background before each fight which, IMO, is great for our sport.

I don't care what the guy's record is, he's still fighting a nobody. Hopefully before 2023 is over he actually fights someone legit.
He didn’t come off that way during the post fight interview. At all. I was just as impressed with that aspect last night, to be honest.
I’m a new fan of his.
Again, Askren was 19-0 when he took that full-sprint flying knee that would have dropped anyone under 205 pounds. I’m sure he had been taken plenty of punches before. I know people hate Askren but let’s not pretend that was the only MMA fight of his career.
