True. He'll have to learn a few things. Case in point, yoel Romero, after training to adapt his elite wrestling, look how he decided to fight. Not so easy to wrestle in mma even if you're the best wrestler
@@juntjoonunya9216 hes been training and sparring with ufc level mma guys for a few years now. thats where his confidence is from. its not like yeah i think i can do this lets go. its more like i've been doing this for a while now and i know i can be champion based on how i have performed against elite fighters. i still dont see the fighter in his eyes though. i see an athlete and a competitor for sure but we will see how he does when he meets someone in the cage who can fight back and defend takedowns. .

People that r saying vettori, Brunson, and weidman r comparable to Bo when it comes to wrestling really have no idea how big of skill gap there is in the wrestling department not saying they aren’t good but Bo is the peak when it comes to wrestling. One of the best college wrestlers ever.

Couldn't many say he doesn't have 10% of the striking others do or he doesn't have 10% of the bjj that they do. Olympic wrestling doesn't mean you can always take n hold anyone down in mma.
eh but he can still have a very successful career. Look at khabib or ben. Wrestling is the best skill to have cuz you can just spam takedowns and nullify striking. There's really no way for strikers to nullify wrestling.
He was never in the Olympics. He isn’t top tier in freestyle, only in folk style. Wrestlers dictate where the fight takes place whereas strikers have to adjust.
He isnt a senior Olympic level contender. He is a 3x national folkstyle champion. Folkstyle translate FAR better than freestyle wrestling based on its control of people on the ground. With some jiu jitsu knowledge, he will control people likened to Khabib and Islam.

What does bo nical think about khamzat chimaevs wrestling? Khamzat will be ww champ in 2023 and bo will be mw champ in 2024. Khamzat will defend a couple times before moving up to mw. Call me crazy, but that fight is gonna happen and I think it will be the fight of the century in terms of numbers and hopefully competitiveness too.
He is 6’1 and wrestled at 197 for college and 202 for internationals. He definitely isn’t small for the weight class. He is also known for his tremendous upper body strength, so he’ll have no problems at middleweight.
the schmo is a 165-170 class if he wanted to fight so when i see how tiny bo is i think he will never b able to get in striking range of a long rangie 185er some of them are around 6ft4 at the top end of the class

Highly disagree with the Cormier comparison. Cormier wrestled at the senior level. He was a 6 time freestyle national champ, bronze medalist and even has a junior Greco world medal. DC has the superior wrestling.
@@michaelm4411 my friend, Olympic wrestling aka freestyle vs folkstyle wrestling is VASTLY different. Folkstyle wrestling is best suited for mma far above and beyond freestyle wrestling based on its control of opponents. Freestyle doesnt control. Cormier was a good freestyle wrestler and good folkstyle wrestler too, but Bo was one of THE most dominate folkstyle champions ever. The guy was a hodge trophy winner, 4x finalist and 3x d1 national champion. Cormier would agree in that that Bo has superior wrestling to him in this arena of mma. Now, Cormier was a phenom himself by translating his wrestling experience into mma....and Bo will have to transition and gain experience too.
@@Tdinh79 Folkstyle is limited to collegiate Americans, whereas freestyle has much better competition. Hence, Bo went 28-10 in freestyle when compared to his 120-3 record in college. I’d even argue Henry Cejudo is better in folkstyle. He didn’t even bother with college as he won the national spot as a senior in high school. Askren was also better as he got two hodge trophies and only losing to one guy instead of two.
@@michaelm4411 yeah, its limited to US wrestlers which favors any collegiate wrestlers going into mma., especially all Americans and especially national champions.
