Bo did the right thing. Paul Craig has the most dangerous guard in the UFC. No need to play with fire if you can win a standup sparring session.
Anyone else in the top 20 he shouldnât worry too much about taking down.
The question is can he take them down. The threat of the takedown will help in the standup.
Bo is early in his career and is a wrestler, his striking looked fine all things considered. He will undoubtedly get better.
I was calling for fight with guy like Brendan Allen! Oh boy was I wrong.
Mi drank the koolaid
That was my thought. After this everyone will say heâs great again because he will likely dominate with takedowns. This one opponent is the guy he didnât want to take down.
Thatâs just not how a killer thinks though. Bo is not & will not be a killer in MMA. He may end with a decent record but no one will fear him or rewatch his highlights.
He might make Jake Shields look exciting
Itâs dumb shit like this that really makes Onlyground the champ!
He doesnât look like a top 10 fighter at 185.
Brendan Allen would make a lot of sense for his next matchup.
Itâs true though. He needs to be with a different team.
What would a new team have changed in his last fight? Heâs still learning striking. We have seen this before. Remember Jon Jones striking in his early UFC fights?
Be aggressive get takedowns & beat the shit out of him. Jon was spinning elbowing dudes heads off & tossing them like rag dolls.
Jones was wild and didnât set up anything while also gassing in his early fights. He was pure raw talent.
Bo just needs rounds. He is clearly coming along. Paul Craig is really good. Beating him easily is an impressive feat regardless of your experience
Bo is the future champ of middleweight division
Bo Vs Marvin Vettori
That disappointing it was an actual quote from him. If his team thought that was the right game plan then it shows they arenât confident in his grappling or his ability to get a takedown without getting subbed. Yeah he outstruck Paul Craig but we donât need to act like it was some wildly lopsided match like how he said his team said.
Strange comments from Nickal and what he relayed from his team.
Then give him hazmat next and see if he accepts the fight. Iâm guessing hazmat would relish getting to fight him and destroying the hype train.
And weâll see what Nickals is truly made of.
Jones was putting on a highlight reel of wrestling moves in mma.
One boring fight and you guys are all over his ass? Winners will do what it takes to win, similar to GSP, Mighty Mouse, Usman etc.
I sat through a lot of boring GSP fights and heâs one of the sports goats. The goal of the sport is winning.
