The legend of Bo the Can Crusher Nickal isn't over
He is incredibly skilled though.
@jonb2756 Then the UFC should give him a MW prospect like Roman Kopylov who has over 90% TDD, that’s a perfect matchup for Bo Nickal.
@@DADRB0B55Well...I wouldn't say it's a "perfect match up", but I do get your point 🤦♀️🙏✌️
Just because something happens doesn’t mean it makes sense
Bo is following the Kumshot Chimaev playbook. Fight nobodies while claiming you can beat everybody. It was at least 6-7 fights before Kumshot fought a ranked opponent
If you bet 10 for bo to win, you win 69 cents
nice
You could easily bet 500,000 on him. Make some money.
@@mychalcolalilo8593 tell that to the guy who bet 220k on izzy to beat strickland
@@mychalcolalilo8593sounds risky lol
@@mychalcolalilo8593 No matter how unlikely it is, in mma you really can't say this. If there's anything you should've learned this year is that. Yes this is a completely egregious mismatch but still
Bo vs. Khamzat...
Thats the fight to make.
Nah, Bo vs Pereira. Both came into the sport unusually specialized, and Peiera smashed his way to the top in short order which Bo seems to be on his way to doing as well.
I swear chael is so good at arguing with himself. Top tier entertainment
😂
Security guard, janitor, tennis coach.
What do these 3 have in common?
They were Bo Nickal's opponent's job.
Bo is literally just following the Kumshot Chimaev playbook. Fight unranked nobodies and claiming that he can beat everybody. Pad the record, build some hype, fight guys who can't grapple so you ragdoll them and take little to no damage...then fight a ranked guy or two before expecting a title shot. Bo is following that playbook to a T
Fun fact: Chael is actually Bo’s uncle
Under rated 🤣
I think we would be good friends in another life. 😂
And colbys dad
*_Funner_* fact: Chael is the uncle for all of us
Bo does have an uncle in the UFC. Uncle Chael started all the hype surrounding Bo and kept talking about him since the beginning. Bo is among the top 5 fighters Uncle Chael is promoting.
I think Dana is the best, but one thing i do agree with people is getting annoying is stop feeding bums or relative bums to these up and coming monsters.
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
Bo vs Khamzat was an opportunity for a special fight at UFC 300
But if they give him a big name, they will say Dana is pushing him to the top. MMA fans are miserable
Dana wants to create a superstar a true household name with out Connor jon Jones and izzy the ufc does not have that right now
They can give Nickal an unranked fighter just one that isn’t trash like Roman Kopylov, Ikram or Gregory Rodrigues.
Cody brundage are you mf serious ??
Your being silly None on the UFC roster can make that weight and beat this kid. They are in the position right now where they have guys that they biult that they still need to make money fights with, that cant touch Bo.
Hey after this I'm sure he will skyrocket to the top
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 came into the UFC top 15. Hes a shark in koi pond right now fighting outside top 15.
yeah and i got it for the first couple but hes proven hes levels (plural) above the guys they are matching him with
I get dana was hyping the opp saying 4 fight win streak or something but he knows hes feeding Bo to guys hes gonna steamroll
Its just wasting a Bo fight putting him vs these guys. This isnt boxing, its not like Bo will be a nothing fighter if he gets matche with a tough fighter early and loses. Max and Charles have tons of losses nobody holds it against them as champs or good draws
@@Rowsy91 Protecting cash cow. Look at what the UFC does with Paddy and Sean
@@James_Cy i just dont think it drives much cash right now matching him up with nobodies that he crushes
i get it if its all about the longterm plan to sell him in 2 years or so but it wont help anyone make cash at ufc 300 this fight
It's not simply the fact that Bo is fighting Uber drivers, it's that he's waiting 6+ months between fights when he's not taking any damage. Would've been great if Bo stole Khamzat's unintentional marketing gimmick of fighting every week as Bo steamrolls into and eventually through the rankings.
Yeah…but training time is vital…if he goes the Khamzat route everyone is calling for him to fight top 5 guys before he’s ready
He’s only been training MMA 2 years bro give him some time to move up the rankings
bo is going to fight 3-4 times next year and his last fight of the year will be a ranked guy, the reason he took a break is to develop his skills as he is very new to be ready for the ranked fight
Time and time again the UFC knows what there doing.
They have platformed and built Izzy , shavkat, perirea, chimaev, ingannu, Lewis, Conor, Islam, kahbib, GSP, the diaz brothers, Jon jones, Chael ,
That's give them the benefit of the doubt.
He's so young, he doesn't need to rush. Dude has 5 pro mma fights... Dude's just trying to get acclimated to the sport and transition college wrestling into mma wrestling. Why risk derailing your run by rushing when you're in your mid twenties
I love how Chael says "juxtapose" at least once in each video 😂
I’ve noticed I’ve added this into my vocabulary .. been watching uncle chael a bit much lately 😂😂
Upon reviewing all of Bo's highlights it has come to my attention that Bo has never even been cleanly hit before.
I saw that dude throw some over zealous kicks and fall down... I hope he's been training his nerves, so he doesn't panic swing as much.
You must not have seen the Rogan episode. Bo had a black eye. Maybe he still hasn’t been hit though, he could’ve gotten it from falling down or something
yeah my barber had nothing on him
@@lackdaar😂
Tito tapped.
Did Lawler?
Tito tapped
Bo Nickel said it himself on Joe Rogan. He is a wrestler learning MMA and and using these fights to build up his training and experience
He is the least humble person ever. Pretending like hes a newb
We get that, but then he also acts like he could smash guys like Chimaev. You can't have it both ways, if you're that good stop fighting scrubs, if you're not then just say it.
@@robbiemedica2652 im so good no one will fight me.. but im also new to mma... get real.
Try fighting winning dighter or stfu
That aint the same energy he had when he was talking sht about Khamzat's wrestling and he would beat him in 1 round in the UFC
@@robbiemedica2652do you understand how promotion and marketing works?
My only problem with the guy is him constantly talking like he’s Jon Jones. All the while fighting bums or short notice
Do you understand how marketing and promotion works?
@@brycehouse3544 fair play if he’s trynna play the heel, but then he’s not doing enough.
@@IntoBloom-wz3nl its not even just a heel thing. Literally every fighter talks about themselves like they’re the best in the world and can beat anybody. Whose gonna pay to watch a guy who is like “I guess I’m alright, maybe some guys can kick my ass who knows”?
What you described worked perfectly for Kumshot Chimaev. Insert "keeel everybody" instead of "beat everyone" and Bo is following the Kumshot playbook
@@brycehouse3544 then he should go out and try to prove it at least? Bro is beating Uber driver layups hyping himself and talking like he’s done anything in the sport.
O'Malley was fed a "squash match" until he found out that the green-haired kid he was locked in the cage with had a Homer Simpson chin.
Dudes from Boston ofcourse the ref had to call it for him shit was just a average friday
I agree Cheal matchmaking is an art which is shame we couldn’t get a real masterpiece such as Bo nickal vs Roman Kopylov.
Wrestling champion vs contender with 90% TDD or they could have done Bo nickal vs Ikram. American wrestling vs Sambo
Spot on, I'd take either matchup.. it's time.
@@cpugh70Never heard of those two guys but I see their records are both nearly spotless.
They do look impressive as well.
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.
We can talk as much as we wish, but Bo's match-up and placement on the card are directly related to his pay grade .
Bingo!
Lets pour one out for the golden years of the UFC. The fuckery is afoot, gentlemen, and its been trending this way for a couple years now. It would take a lot for the UFC to ever get passed by boxing now, but its definitely not as great as it was. Too many bullshit matchups and its painfully obvious how Paddy, O'Malley and Bo have had strikingly similar paths thru unranked opponents. Meanwhile dudes nobody likes gotta go thru murderers row if they get on a one win streak.
Tito drives a Volvo...and the engine taps
Fighters need to hire Chael as a Ted Debiose style hype man
The million dollar man!
They're giving him time to increase his striking abilities. If he can't take someone down, he's prolly get beat and they don't wanna chance that. He's getting the O'Malley treatment
He's following the Kumshot Chimaev playbook. Fight unranked nobodies and claiming that he can beat everybody. Look for Bo to keep fighting guys who can't grapple just like Kumshot did. Once Bo gets 6-7 wins, then he'll also follow the Kumshot Chimaev playbook and then fight a couple of ranked guys and then go into a title fight.
How is it the o malley treatment when suga has always been a well rounded fighter?
Bo keeps getting these no names and it’s hilarious!! If that were anyone else they would throw him to the wolves!
Bullshit, look at Islams first 5 fights, look at Justin Gaethjes first 5 fights. Bo is new and thus he is also fighting either new people or no names. Just because he has strong wrestling doesnt mean he should be fighting Top 10 guys.
They won't throw you to the wolves unless you agree. If anything, Sean O'malley has proved this already
@@TheS0risGaethje fought the number 5 guy in his debut?
@@yarcusmoungbar5051Justin came into the ufc with an 18-0 record, Bo came in with a 1-0 record, big difference
@@TheS0risThen he should stop pretending he's good enough to beat top 10 guys when we know why he's not fighting them yet.
And while we're at it, why are they putting him on big cards when nobody cares about watching him fight scrubs?
They completely ruined UFC 290 by putting him fighting a janitor instead of Robbie Lawler.
The wrestler getting the boxing treatment.
Chael looked like is in fighting shape.
Dana already said Bo is the feature prelim. They’re trying to build Bo up to have a passed undefeated record then match him with a big name
Worst featured prelim ever.
This monologue is a piece of art. Nice twist w/ the rankings at the end 🤌
perhaps chael is the program that brings sense to the game
thanks i now know a little about bo nickal
I bet it’s hard for the UFC to find someone really willing to step in the cage with Chimaev or Nickal. The pressure from their hype would be tough for any competitor.
True. But if they get beat, that person now becomes superstar.
@@nickhousman6222 Not really how it works. If you fought or trained at a competitive level you would understand. Anyone can beat anyone at anytime. Anything can happen in a fight. One hook to the back of the ear and its lights out for anyone. That’s why these guys are so picky about who they fight. The old days were much better than now.
@@AcesnickvlcYou are correct. Bo is even following the Kumshot Chimaev playbook by fighting nobodies and claiming he can beat everybody. They know that anything can happen, so they want to fight guys who can't grapple and that way they know that if all else fails, they can go for a takedown. Unless of course they catch that perfect punch, kick, knee or elbow that knocks them out in one strike. It's possible, but Bo and Kumshot know the odds are in their favor. They also know that win streaks and undefeated records are massive promotional tools. Everyone forgets that Leon hand picked his opponents, most of which were unranked nobodies and nobody remembers that he hasn't stepped into the cage against anyone younger than 35 in over 5 years. Leon stacked wins, got a win streak, got a title shot, and he was the one to land that lucky shot that knocked his opponent out. He's the champion now and makes millions of dollars for every single fight so it worked out great. Kumshot and Bo are hoping to do the same thing that Leon did
@@RonniePTexan Burns and Usman are not exactly push overs. He took both of those fights and came out on top. He’s looking to fight anyone with a name so he can get paid. Same with Bo.
Why hasn’t Bo been given someone from top10?
What ever happened to Marvin vettori??
Bo is following the Kumshot Chimaev playbook. He's fighting unranked nobodies and claiming that he can beat everybody. Like Kumshot did, he's going to pad his record and build his hype by fighting nobodies who can't grapple so they can ragdoll them and take little to no damage while doing it. Then after they build the hype, pad the record etc they'll fight a ranked guy or two and then expect a title shot
Juxtaposition.. variation of Uncle Chael's new word juxtaposed. Correctly used in seamless transition during our lecture today. Well done. Undefeated, Undisputed, never lost a round, broke Jon Jones big toe, and tapped out Tito the wordsmith.
I think Bo is getting what he wants. Brundage isn’t a can. Watch his last fight. He’s a tough kid. I think Bo wants to get more experience. The dude only started MMA two years ago. Do I think Bo can beat Khamzat? Yes. All day. But I understand why he wants to start slow. He wants to be so good that there is no question as to who the goat is.
Kamzat strikes and wrestles he beat burns and usman kamazat will smash bo
@@Basichomelife Bo has as many knockouts in the UFC as Khamzat. Khamzat’s wrestling is laughable compared to Bo’s. Bo will be able to do whatever he wants with Khamzat on the ground. If Khamzat doesn’t have his grappling…is he that good of a striker? I don’t think so. Gilbert Burns dropped him a few times and outstruck Khamzat. if Usman had 5 rounds he would have beat Khamzat.
@TheRealDaveRiddle he still beat top 3 contenders And a champion. Bo fights bums
@@Basichomelife We’ll see when it all goes down. Bo will take his soul. Remember this convo when it happens.
Until someone makes Bo look mortal this will be the delusion.
I’m definitely going to take the other side, small wager for a punchers chance.
if you’re going to do it might as well take the bet for cody to win via knockout. even better payout and that’s probably the only way he wins
Maybe he’s on a cheap introductory deal and isn’t going to fight competition for cheap. This would be the last fight on his contract and then you can expect him to fight higher ranked guys. And also fighters arent generally the same guy they were when they entered the organization as they are after a few years and they definitely do improve, im not sure why you’re convinced otherwise
Thanks, I know others asked anyway but I asked for this video a few days ago.
I’d would’ve liked to see round 4 and 5
Bo is the GOAT, he just needs another five years before he fights anyone in the top 10.
I don’t understand how UFC 300 is supposed to be this big epic event and everything announced so far has been lackluster
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.
No they are just building him up he’s just cause he’s a pitch perfect American they would never throw him with the wolves like Alex pereira they know hes not built like that
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.
Look at like this ufc doesn’t want want too break the kids heart by throwing him with the best so they gonna slow build him so he gets more experience and has more of a chance to become champ. If he becomes champ that’s like the UFC’s equivalent to Tom Brady
@@jack-yi1sy it’s BO his confidence is his delusion he’s the one saying he can beat everyone up and his wrestling is better than everyone’s and that’s why he’d beat them blah blah blah
@@andrewcano5111I agree. Dana knows when fighters need to grow. And Dana gives them that chance . O'Malley played his hand perfectly . People should take notes.
There's a case for squash matches being good for crowd entertainment.
Like, who doesnt love a blitz KO 20 seconds into the first round.
This match is basically Masvidal v Askren, but with less shit talking and build up
Tito Chael putting in the work
Whats the over under on chael saying the word massive?
Betting the house on Cody then ! :)
I appreciate how you can't pronounce many fighters names.
We are doing the match because the price is right...
Not saying he'll win but Brundage was a huge underdog in his last 2 fights and won both in the first round. No matter what anyone says, this is still a dangerous fight for Bo
He won the first fight because the other guy wasn't patient enough in he's beat down to not hit Brundage in the back of the head.
Brundage sucks
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@XxYungFlo15xX you're right but you kinda missed my point. Brundage sucks, but he's dangerous lol
We are on the same haircut schedule
Bo Vs Borz is the match id love to see!
I think bo beats him. Khamzat seems pretty regular lately
@@Marvin-ut4xs I wonder if he has side effects from corona that have made him worse
I think UFC is missing a great opportunity not doing chimaev vs Nickel
Some of these fighters are slowwwly moved along… Chimaev, O’Malley, and now Bo Nickal .
Let me see him Bo fight Chimaev… that would’ve been a great match for UFC 300
Bo vs B. Allen would even be a great match
The plan with Bo is to increase his score, have him ride a big winningstreak and then have him become an American UFC champ. So they gonna feed him more cans. Like Suga Sean
I believe cormier beat Dan Henderson after cummins but the point remains. Good stuff chael
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.
The matchmaking is decided with sales being the most important thing. In reality this sport should have a table like any other sport where if u win you go up if u lose you go down. Then the actual best fighter would be the champ
He's a 14-1 favourite FOR NOW chael
Bo's uncle is the father of Hunter Campbell's daughters Fiance (Second cousin of Bo). Prettty sure he's getting a title some point soon..
Bo Nickle's opponent needs to control the airports
Watching Bo at this stage of his career is similar to NFL pre-season. It’s hard to get excited over sports when your watching them essentially practice and fine tune.
Bo is ready for top-five competition, hell he can fight for the title today and win it
its called sandbaging and at some time this is gonna work against Bo, already is with me
And yall said the wwe merge was meaningless. This is the sports entertainment era.
FACTS I been saying that. How is Shuvcock not the #1 contender for his finnish rate alone?
King khabib sounds like a sweet villian
Cold like an ice sickle. Bo nickal
the fact that Chris Curtis and Kevin Gaslum are ranked middle weights is kinda silly. Even Bearjew has beat 1 middle weight, unranked Andre Muniz and hes #12?
The UFC does squash matches all the time! my favorite was Arlovski vs Biggie Boy
Pretty sure Cody is not an easy match
( can you get the Volvo off the lot today ) …. The legend has spoken
DC fought Dan Henderson after the Pat Cummins fight 😂
Bo is gonna get the Sean O’Malley treatment
Sean Omally had that kind of treatment.
I don't have a problem with it. His team wants him to get in some more before they feel he's ready and he can't get fights outside the u.f.c . Let his team groom him how they feel is right
Don’t forget Kamaru stepped in on short notice
Bo said they didn't ask him to fight
He must be soo good. Who is he fighting again?
he's fighting someone better than your favorite fighter's 6th mma fight opponent
Bo is a real nifty Nickal on neighborhood creeeup
Cody Brundage is no pushover, certainly not a 14-1 dog.. it's interesting, it reminds me of that old horse betting trick.. big favorite win$, big favorite win$$, big favorite wins$$$, then big favorite loses = $$$$$$$$
He needs to fight the BearJew!
I think its the first fight of the night
I literally omit certain things you say as a result of how you troll and and how I feel haha
Nickal vs Strickland. It makes sense
Bo is better than everyone thinks he is.
lol Chael I hope this max Gaethje fight materializes
Chael definitely has a Zynbabwe in definitely lower decky
Is it just me or does Cody Brundage have a kind of Cool Hand Luke vibe about him.
Bo is the best fighter in the 185 division and the UFC as a company knows this, but isn’t ready for it yet. He should be three fights from being champ instead of four which this fight makes him.
He’s doing the same thing Sean O’Malley did. If you up his contract then you up his competition
What's wrong with a Volvo?
Okay but why are you yelling at me Uncle Chael Sonnen? 🥺😮💨
If Bo isn’t fighting Khamzat at 300 the UFC doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing. Khabib vs Conner. But I’d settle for Conner and Chandler after USADA is outta the picture.
Jiri got a title shot after 2 fights in the UFC. That's the fastest I know of. Just depends on how talent stacked the division is I guess.
Juri was champion in another promotion I believe so that may have been the reason the MMA experience
Similar for PEREIRA… fought for belt by 4th fight. One size does not fit all in the UFC
Hi Chael, Chael say hi back
May be Uncle Chael is that secret Uncle 😮
Opponents also have to say yes to fighting the guy.
Is it me or Uncle Chael is looking younger leaner…? Look at that vein up his bicep ! The return of the Gangster
Bo getting these layup fights is getting annoying. The UFC have started doing this with all the up coming guys like Khamzat just feeding them wins until they get a shot at the title
It’s been pretty bad with Chimiev. They won’t put him anywhere near a competent wrestler.
@@d-fens5866 Agreed to an extent, but Kamaru was a proper wrestler
Wonderboy vs Adesanya!
I wonder if there is any connection between Chael and Draftkings...?
New mythical fighter -1000 bo
Bruh 14 to 1 is insane
