    This isnt boxing guys dont need that 19-0 record to impress fans or sell future title fights. Its ok if you challenge him and he loses once or twice early
    Charles has like 13 losses and is one of the best selling champs or future champs on the roster. Alex is like 7-2 and already a good draw as a 2 time champ

    I’m really surprised they didn’t get Paul Craig for this fight with Bo on 300. I remember when Paul called out Bo a couple months back and I only remember because Chael made a video about it. Maybe that’s not a huge fight either compared to Brundage but I feel like skill wise it’s less of a “squash match” as Chael puts it. I feel like Bo would’ve still been the favorite against Craig too just maybe not such an extreme favorite.

      Bo hasn't even gone the distance against anyone because he's had first round finishes against tin cans.
      Granted, the last fight he had at 294 was actually very clean from the other guy, but bad for a possible groin shot followed by a takedown and then submission that the guy had no chance to get out of.
      I am expecting Cody Brundage to come out with some fire and some power, cause he does have some power, but then again Khamzat also has proven to have a very strong jab and took punches from Gilbert Burns and from Usman that would down majority of other fighters and only simply rocked Khamzat, but Bo hasn't been tested. I don't care what his record is, Brundage has 10 wins and has 4 KOs in the UFC.
      That's a little different than Bo. Hopefully nobody gets hurt or injured while training for this fight. I want to see Bo get pushed. It's good to lose a fight early in their career, but to learn from an early career loss is more important than a title fight loss.

    Justin Gaethje came into the league and fought number 5 on day 1. The UFC has become watered down. The odds alone demonstrate this fight should never have happened. They want to get people saying hes so good that he only needs to fight one top 10 guy and then get a title fight. Kinda like O'Malley. This is the new UFC model.

      Justin gaethje was an undefeated regional champion with a record of 17-0 I don't know why you're drawing him as a comparison point.
      Bo nickal's striking isn't really tested that well and his takedown on pickett was incredibly suspicious with the knee. Bo's good by all measures so far and he's obviously an amazing wrestler, but why are we trying to find out if someone new to MMA is capable of beating top guys if he's not fully tested yet?
      I don't watch wrestling, but I can't imagine how they take eachother down/get into grappling on the ground is the same implementation as it is in MMA. I know by reputation he's gifted on the ground, but if he can't get it to the ground how do we know he can stand and win rounds off of strikers that can defend takedowns? What if he gets clipped and flatlined by a top guy and we find out he couldn't take a hit that well after all.
      I'd rather let him build in competition so he gets the experience needed to fight top guys because it'd really suck if we find out he has a major deficit against people who don't have a few fights or are actually talented.

    At the end of the day, no matter who it is, if they are walking in new they will have to go through fights before they get a ranked fight. Tbh...that's not a bad methodology. As good as people can be, they still need experience at that level. Further, the guys that ARE ranked had to do the same and now newbies get to just walk in an fight them because they are hyped up? No.
    I think Bo will be a champ at some point but moving up too fast can actually turn out bad.
