Nickal’s big plan
“For me, the most important thing is developing, and I don’t want to skip steps,” Nickal explained. “You mentioned Diego Lopes… These guys have 20-plus pro fights. I’ve fought six times in just over two years. Is that infrequent? I wouldn’t say so. People might forget that I’ve only been fighting professionally since the summer of 2022.
“But with that said, it’s a good thing that people want to see me fight. I want to compete as much as I can, but I also want to make sure I’m improving. Let’s say I fight a ranked guy next, then a top-five opponent, and then for the title. It’s not a long road to where I want to go.”
“I feel like I can compete with and beat the best right now, but I don’t want it to be competitive when I reach the title fight,” he said. “I want it to look like a masterclass where the opponent isn’t even on my level.”
TLDR; I want to handpick my opponents.
Grooming him is common sense.
He has the chops to be unstoppable.
I hope he has good management.
Works for some people. Conor was brought up slowly, so was Max to a lesser degree. The potenial is there.
Craig is a good test imo
Reinier de Ridder is excited about the thought of fighting many high-level UFC middleweights, and he’s even got his eyes on rising star Bo Nickal.
For de Ridder, time in the UFC spotlight has been a long time coming. The 19-fight veteran will be making his UFC debut against Gerald Meerschaert this Saturday inside the UFC Apex.
Really became a fan after hearing him on Jocko.
I’d love to see Shara get strangled unconscious.
He ought to turn it in!
Fuck that over hyped ginger
He is exactly where Chimaev was when Hazmat entered the UFC. 6-0.
Let’s see what he can do. Chimaev was an instant sensation when he showed up.
Bo has Paul Craig next. A solid veteran in his mid-30s who’s 1-4 in his last 5 fights.
This is what i think of when Bo talks!
Bo Knows …
Paul is on a skid but he is dangerous. He has elite sub skills
