So many great up and comers. I can't wait to see em fight each other. The Dustin, Volkanovski, Jones, Smith era is coming to a close.
Bo has a good analytical sense
lmao "took out Malkoun" 😂 Brundage was getting dominated so badly in that fight that Malkoun basically started getting bored and just started 12-6 elbowing him and he got DQ'd. Like come on Bisping, do your research, to say he "took out Malkoun" is just ridiculous
what kind of sense would that make? I highly doubt he wanted DQ'd. If he was getting bored he would've ended the fight😂
In the comical sense of WTF@@BrettW-py1ct
Bisping being a company man here :F
Hopefully he can fight a top 20 here very soon
You mean he is fighting an unranked guy on a payperview!
@@geeksworkshopyes he has been . I mean I get it. Ease him in but cmon give him a 12-15 rank. Tbh he could prob ragdoll dricus right now
@@Buddyguy1988I highly doubt that. Bo is a world class folk style wrestler, but wrestling in MMA is quite different than NCAA wrestling, Dricus is far more experienced than Bo in MMA, Dricus is no slouch in the grappling department himself, and perhaps most importantly, Dricus is a _massive_ middleweight, while Bo is actually quite small for the division. To be honest I’m somewhat surprised Bo isn’t doing the weight cut to fight at 170. There I think he could rag doll pretty much everyone. But rag dolling guys the size of Dricus or Paulo Costa, I’m just not seeing it. Not saying he can’t beat them, just that he wouldn’t be able to manhandle them the way you’re picturing.
@@therainman7777 I have to agree w you on the 170 . I thought the same thing however I do still think he ragdoll every single one of those boys at 170 and 185x hope I’m wrong he annoys me but I try to be objective . Time will tell, good points tho
@@therainman7777 I just think he may be the most elite wrestler I’ve seen come in the ufc. And also he’s got hands.. thst goes w why I think he’ll snatch the belt and make it look easy.
Bo is a legend in his own mind.
Bro MMA is awesome you should watch some time.

@@H-Town_83 You liked your own comment, I don’t have time for people like you
@@Pooki2024if you don't have time for people that like themselves, that explains your original comment in the first place
@Pooki2024 huh? I didn't know you could like your own comment. It don't matter though. I know you can't hang with people like me. Tryna hate on Bo is stupid as he'll. I've had him in my gym. Is is a beast but more than that he was a legend in American wrestling long before he started training MMA. If you don't know it because you just don't know combat sports.
I mean, one of them has to win a belt first... feels like theyre both getting ahead of themselves tbh.
well he asked for in 2 years so...
@@ghostrunner2138 khamzat fights like once a year so.. he won't ever get a title shot.
He'll get his title and you'll see@@Rockyphilly94
@@Rockyphilly94khamzat is in a title eliminator fight now so khamzat will probably fight for the middle weight title near the end of the year if khamzat wins against Robert
Bo is khamzat before he fought top contenders, thinking they can beat anyone and saying “ i don’t know why guys took this fight against me” without having fought a single top 10 contender.
Very true. Shit changes dramatically when you get into the top 5
Perfect timing for my sauna water weight cut
sean did put his best performance together and he looked really good.
No kicks, no takedown defence like he usually has, definitely not his best performance
He wasnt aggressive enough. Just same ole jab all fight. Wish he would throw more right hands.
Bo is a great role model just seen JW podcast it was awesome too !!
I'm wondering if he can take a clean crack to the chin , i hope he keeps on winning because the test he is looking for is in the top 5 :)
Idk man the last of the top 15 are pretty good too, the easiest matchup I can see for bo is Chris churtis
If this dude becomes champion one day it will be like the nfl sent a qb to the ufc to compete. Hes reminds me of a well spoken NFL Q.B
The showdown between Bo and the wolf will be like Luke vs Darth. Good vs evil.
🤣😂 more like chihuahua
umm yeah. the coward bo who sides with people in ppwer against khamzat standing for the 30000 palestinians that have been bombed
🤣🤣🤣
ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW MIKE 💪💪💪
Thanks Bo, you’re an inspiration. And thanks Michael for letting your guest speak.
Let's go bo
I would love to fight Bo for the belt
Cool dude, you're super stoic and don't care but answer with the fans in mind
SPEAKS VERY WELL 👍 GOOD LUCK BO
Let’s go bro
I never heard of any of the guys Bo fought there off Craigslist
Anyone who has wrestled at the collegiate level knows how much of an advantage he has coming out of the gate.. He's coachable and isn't used to losing at anything. Eventually he's gonna get his bell rung by someone who's world class but he's a smart SOB. Future UFC champion is definitely in the cards for Bo Nickal
Bo should stick to fighting cans only.
I mean Coca Cola cans are made out of aluminum. I think fighting humans would be a lot harder
You’re not a real fan - you realize he’s been dominant so far without even using his wrestling, right? He’s literally a WORLD CLASS wrestler
against who though????@@Tumeg08
@@Tumeg08you realize that he hasn't done anything impressive right? First opponent he kneed in the balls just before taking him down.
Second opponent came in last minute for his ufc debut without a training camp and noone in his corner while making his own ufc debut.
So I'm sorry to shatter your worldview, but he hasn't accomplished anything yet
You know nothing with an opinion like this one
Have a great fight, like it’s have a good day 😂 I love this sport
Lfg can't wait till he's in the rankings
Caio Borralho vs Bo is a Real fight, if they gave him a real fight ppl wouldn't be as upset
This guy is dangerous. With no arrogance saying i have no idea why these guys are signing to fight me and id rather be earlier on the card so im not out late. Bernard Hopkins mentality, with his skills? Dangerous.
Yep you're right Bo is a legend there ain't a man woman or child that don't know this man in the wrestling Community International not just America
it’s not Bo’s fault if the UFC is trying to developed and give him some experienced until he’s really to fight the elite .
I feel Bo is ready now and he should save his body health and fight the top ranks now
it is, he accepts the fights...
@@jakelongstaff4102 so he's supposed to decline them? lmfao that's one way to get cut
@@jakelongstaff4102so he’s supposed to turn down fights and get cut from the ufc? When you’re a rookie you take what they give you
@@chefxhyrule242 hes supposed to ask fir a jump up in comp, like griw a fuckin brain mate
Let's see him fight a top 10.!!
He should do a Khabib and just wrestle everybody,the grind cycle is tested and trusted....ground and pound is 100% reward and no risk.
If you have the IQ that is. I'm looking forward to it, as it would be the proving ground, in my opinion.
bo is the future 🐐
In MMA? At 185? Like he’ll have a bigger/longer/more dominant legacy than Anderson Silva?
At least Bo get the belt first.
I didn't say anything about the spider. lol the future of the division. but he does have the mindset to be great. now he just has to go do it. he doest have to have the best personality. He's a killer
@@yakabatuka you said future goat. I just picked the goat of his division. But you’re going further - saying P4P goat of all MMA… and I’m saying let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Bo has been a favourite of mine since I seen him wrestling he bent this one dude in half just dominated this Guy once he is a complete fighter he will be a huge name in MMA I don't get that other people don't get it . Gives me brain hurt on ya Bo
Dana might actually want to do that fight in a stadium an dana dosnt like stadiums but a stacked card with that fight headlining would be massive
I can't wait for all the backpedaling once he gets flatlined.
😂
24:00 same
To be honest I found Bo quite boring to start with, uni this uni that , however this was a great interview. Great bloke. I'm a big fan now.
Someone give Khamzat a belt so Bo can fight him for it! 😂😂😂 Bo you’re a 🤡
I have seen many comments complaining about Bo wanting to fight khamzat for the title. Did you even watch the video or just read the title? He just said that he thinks khamzat will be the champion in the future and he would love to fight him then
Bo nickel is the American khabib he’s gonna smash your boy lol or it’s gonna gonna be a standup war. No chance khamzat takes him down .
@@almontaseralazri3107shut it gurlywhirly
Bo smashes that boy
@@Btc_bott😂
Penn State Wrestling And BO 💪💪👍👍
Bisping does NOT MISS😂😂 this channel is the best on TH-cam wowchaaaa!!
Bo's confidence as an athlete instantly reflects all the insecurities of MMA fans who don't take part in the sport😂
Well it would be nice if little Bo Peep started fighting somebody that's not outside the top 50....
BO VS VETTORI
The ufc will put him against higher competition soon . He is a high level competitor and he’s wrestling is better than most of the middleweight division btw .
Dumb statement. He doesn’t do the match making. Jesus, MMA fans just like to complain about it anything.
He’s 5-0 bro stop hating 😂😂
Nobody wants to fight him. It's hard for him to get an opponent. He mentioned this before lol
Killa Gorilla deserves a title shot but ends this guys hype
I've been wanting to see Khamzat vs Jared for a while now. Bo is't ready for that level.
I think cocky guys with a wrestling pedigree like Bo should get fast tracked into better competition. Dana coddles some of these guys way to much
Why fight Khzmzat for $30K?
Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier
I think a slower career is beneficial for the vast majority of the fighters, even if gold medaliat or really high level in a specific discipline it doesn't mean they are overall great fighters. There are some exceptions like Pereira, but watching closely he was fed strikers and had some some time to prepare for a better grappler (blackowitz or how the hell is written).
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Pereira was ‘fed’ strikers? He fought Strickland his 3rd UFC fight. Then fighting Izzy? Twice?
You say that like the UFC hand picked easy matches and padded his resume with a bunch of nobodies.
@@jasonwebb6484 Pereira is one of my favourite fighters, I wasn't talking down to him. Compared to MMA strikers Jiri and specially Adesanya are the best, but it's all relative. When you have a 2x times world kickboxing champion both jiri and Adesanya don't carry the same weight. We are not talking Bruson or Vettori dealing with them but the cream of the crop in that particular discipline. For example I think Vettori would have been a more hostile opponent than strickland, not because he's overall better but because at that particular point Pereira had little experience with grappling. I think the UFC created the perfect path for the Adesanya Vs Pereira fight: great story, great characters, unfinished business and all that jazz. I don't think Pereira randomly encountered those particular fighters, just like MVP didn't meet Kevin Holland by chance, it's a show, some fights are clearly based on the characteristics of each fighter.
Can't wait to see Bo actually fight a great fighter to see how he does. I can tell the UFC is trying to slow build him as all his fights including this next one coming up are with sub par fighters no one has really ever heard of. Kind of like Sean O'Malley, I feel the UFC will have him fight nobodies till he gets a great record of 10 wins in a row and then he'll fight one top ten guy and if he wins he'll get a title fight.. id bet my left nut that as long as Bo doesnt lose to anyone thats not a top 15 fighter, he'll get an easy run to a title fight by just beating one top ten fighter. I'm not talking shit, that's just how the UFC has done things lately but I honestly think Bo really could end up being a great UFC fighter and at least win the belt and defend once at the very least. I dont think he'll be a superstar or anything like that bc he dowsnthave the right personality. People dont like humble and nice fighters for the most part.
Man bo is a awesome dude all the best
I want to see Chimaev become champion and fight Bo Nikal for the title. It would be a good fight
All I got to say right now is... It's kinda weird that Bo opens the 300 main card, I would have preferred Jim Miller and Bobby Green for that spot simply due to pedigreee and awesome sauce.
But Bo is already a better competitor than Colby "chaos" Covington... And somehow Colby has been on the top of a division for half a decade despite the fact that he has not really earned the position anymore than Nostradamus has.
Althought, I have zero doubt that Bo's entry level contract is alot better than most fighters... I somehow doubt he got the 12k entry contract. Probably closer to 50k. But I might be wrong.
Naa, jiri or Sterling deserves the spot on the main card not Jim, Bobby or Bo
@@JordanSharkey No one really cares about watching Sterling...
Aliskerov literally call out bo after his fight, bo need to test his skill with this russian killer 😮
Awesome interview! Hope this materializes. Khamzat has to beat Rob in a 5 rounder first and that’s a big ask. Also, Bo needs to stop fighting tomato cans and start working his was up the ladder.
He can start with fighting a ranked opponent first :p
In 2 fights
People don’t understand Bo is still on a rookie contract, why would he fight a top 15 right now? It’s not a smart business move or a smart career move, he’s still in development. Give him a break he will be fighting top level guys in no time.
Perhaps true, but talking like you're a contender leaves yourself open to criticism.
why once a year fight tho
We could give him a break but Bo talks like he beats everyone in the UFC right now, today. Step up or shut up.
Exactly, there is no incentive for him to fight top ranked opponents when he's making 40K like in his last fight. Once he signs a new contract he'll fight guys in the top 10.
@@gojosensei6501 he's fighting 3-4 times this year
Yeah, he is confident and cocky, but I kinda like him. Curious how his path continues.
cool
Bisping talks about whos the man in the top 5 but Bo:s answer is Khamzat Chimaev 😮 The man everybody in the top trying to avoid.
The reason why he wants him so bad is he knows his wrestling is on a way higher level so Chimaev will have to stand
Cant wait for him to fight some tougher guys. I get what hes doing but gotta challenge yourself a little more
Everyone who doubts Bo is a fool! Do not mistake his confidence for arrogance. This is a man who has been bred for war since a young age. Same exact thing as the Dagestanis, he's been wrestling for nearly 30 years.
He’s our American khabib lol 😂 everyone is gonna learn . He’s such a high level wrestler he’s gonna ragdoll a lot of good fighters .
Bo will get ktfo, dricus finishes this man with a head kick round 1
Hope they dont fast track Bo, dude has potential to be a great
He has two more fights on his contract, they should be two more cans if they build him up right. Then he should get some top 15.
Bruh I keep commenting on these Izzy Strickland Whittaker videos, it’s like dude we have beau and khamzat coming up, gonna deep these guys soon it doesn’t matter
He needs to fight a top 15 guy
no he doesn't
He will after his contract ends, which is in 2 fights
I wish I could bet on this guy, but he's always 1.05 or something :)))
sean looked great. Sean won.
Bo could be the biggest American fighter/superstar maybe ever if he keeps winning the kids first fight was on a ppv card khamzat didnt get that push or hype
I bet he would like that fight for a belt. He could be the next Brenden Allen. RN B A would eat his lunch.
Is bo a little undersized? Would he benefit from a 175 weight class
He won a NCAA National Championship at 197 lbs
He is but it seems like it's too hard or even impossible for him to cut, last he wrestled at 174 was years ago
He’s 6,4 btw
He’s like 6’3 maybe 6’4 just skinny looking but he has the frame
Bo will become the GOAT
Make bo knucke vs ikram
No complaints about who Bo fights. Just fight more often.
He's fighting 3-4 times this year
Let's be honest
Strickland is American Bisbing
Future Champ!
Bo vs caio
Now thats a fight
It' s like it's easy when you're on a winning streak one day you will be KO'd then you will realize..
I thought Bo would be more of a loudmouth and funnier with a bit of a belly. That would be a good vibe for him.
Get off yt plz
So, be Strickland?
@@jasonwebb6484 Kind of, but with more of a college fatboy energy than the redneck vibe and a bit more comfortable with more advanced vocabulary while still quite rough around the edges and a big drinker.
Bo seems like a incredible dude wow that’s great to see
Can't hate on Bo "Small/Low Ears" Nickal. I believe he will hold 185lb Gold within 24 months. Mark my words.
The only man brave enough to call out Khamzat 💪🏻🇺🇸
Slow your roll tiger. Bo needs to evolve his MMA skills to prevent a KTFO loss! But definitely GOAT potential. Henry Olympic gold, got beat by Aljo and merab… it’s MMA NOT WRESTLING!!!
Bo has all-time greatness written all over him. This man is the future of fighting everybody.
✅ World class wrestling
✅ Hands of stone
✅ Granite chin
✅ Infinite cardio
✅ Charisma
✅ Intangibles (Ripped body and a smile that will melt your heart)
Bo is literally the perfect fighter
And charisma? Stop glazing
Are you going to swallow too?
He has barely been tested in any of those facets yet... You're jumping the gun a bit.

Cant wait to see dricus knock this man out gona be awesome and i guarantee it will happen
Lol dricus is losing the title soon
I wanna see him against better competition. it is good they are building him slow
GSP 2😊
Bo IS the man 👊🇺🇸🙌
Bo was a good wrestler but for some reason his team and family don't keep it real with him, if he fought anyone in the top 5 he would learn real quick that there are levels to this.
this is is smart, but I can’t take him serious until I see him fight high level competition
So both these guys get to jump the front of the line without every fighting top 10 consistently? Nikal has fount nothing but low ranks and he jumps to Championship contention?
Ddp would knock this guys lights out
Chama 🗿
Lowblow Nickal
Lol still crying about that?
Cheatin' Bo Nickal
Bo said Khamzat wrestling was shit and yet Bo (ranked #36) is fighting Cody Brundage (ranked #54) with a 10-5 record is ranked 18 spots below him. How could Bo take this set up fight after being so confident about his skills.
And if the UFC threw Nickal in with top 10, the same guys who whine about who he's fought already, would cry that he didn't deserve a top 10.
By your logic, he wouldn't deserve a shot against Chimaev because he's ranked 25 spots ahead of Nickal. Rankings are determined by sports media and has nothing to do with how long a fighter has been in the UFC. At this stage in his MMA career, Brundage is the more seasoned MMA fighter. Period.
As far as the comment Bo made about Khamzat's wrestling? He's not lying. Nickal is a level above but I'll give you this, this isn't just wrestling.
I get it, his arrogance caused by his confidence can be annoying, but the dude is a grappling freak. With power in his hands and an innate understanding of the submission game.
Brundage is exactly the fight he needs. Then a couple in the top 15 and a couple in the top 10. If he's dominant in those four fights, start setting him up for title contention.
I'll leave it at this which goes back to the beginning of my post. Nickal called for a fight against Khamzat (Costa backup) when hardly no one else did or does. The UFC and Chimaev shut that down. Why? He didn't deserve the shot.
Bo vs chris curtis
Not a bad match up i like that
Kahamzat has been hiding from Bo for a long time now
Your comment is ridiculous
Weve got khamzat whos never fought a top 5 ranked middleweight probs going to get a title shot.
And bo nickal calling for a title fight with khamazat already zzz.
Ufc is wwe.
He'll be the best middleweight of all time
This guy going to win from Sam Oates bideford and demi the dog
I think bo destroys kum shot
Bo doesn’t want that smoke.
Mr "I'm not a prelim fighter", (his words for his 1st UFC fight), doesn't care where he fights on a card? He just lost credibility with me.
He'll get it back.
Glad someone called that out
Who gives a shit boo hoo he lost a fan lmaoo
Lmao. You’re ridiculous.
and who are u sir
khamzat doesnt have a belt
He will never have one dricus is his worst matchup
Yeah DDP, very beatable says a nobody who is not even ranked. This guy has no idea, about the heart and resillience DDP has and where it comes from. He will never understand that. Dricus will beat Bo easily. Undefeated in kickboxing, former junior world champion in kickboxing, double division champion in EFC, KSW Welterweight champion, UFC MW champion. Stay in your lane, bud.
DDP is on PEDs it’s not him
@@All0utj3rk By ur logic most South Africans are on PEDs 😂that's a normal body in South Africa there are even More ripped and bigger people than DDP who are natural just check out our National Rugby Team and u'll understand
