Jiri vs Rakic opening the main card would have been perfect
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@gti5700 I don’t even mind Bo, but it’s just not an exciting fight for me on the main card because it’s gonna be a 1st round finish for him
Might be a boring fight tbh. Rakic the reason of course so maybe i dont mind atleast Bo doesnt have boring fights
@@yoaregey7296 true but I think Jiri will make sure it’s not boring
Nah Jiri & Rakic hold back
I actually really like Bo Nickal but the PPV placement over former Champions and proven guys is what I don't like
He would have fought wherever they wanted him to. I think it's a great push for Bo that shows his pulling power. And don't mistake it. He has massive pulling power. This card is completely stacked so to end the prelim with a former champ fight is actually pretty smart to keep eyes on the prelim as well. I think they built this card perfectly, and its no disrespect to Jiri or Figgy or Garbrant and whoever else is on the prelim who's a former champ.
Its a buisness move, Bo's fan base is the wrestling communitty collegiate and national level, and middle-upper class families, it will bring a whole nother fanbase and ppv buys, he will bring more than jiri, thats the reasoning
He's a promising prospect. Former champions are former champions.
Agreed
Agreed, but business supercedes us.
Bo "You know, it's interesting" Nickal.
He should have been the early prelims opener
Very well spoken. We need more people like Bo.
Biggest issue in the UFC: questionable reffing/judging. Second biggest issue: these god awful reporters asking god awful questions.
Commission, not organization. Free press, constitutional right. Neither of these is organization responsibility or domain
@@BrendannotBrandonthe UFC 100% has control over the press / media and who asks questions. Remeber when they banned helwani? They know who the media people are and if they started to boot these people asking these stupid, boring or pointless questions they would improve. It’s a private business not a public event they can control who participates.
@@cameron2900x You should work for the UFC then and improve them
@@BrendannotBrandongreat response. why such a problem with criticism?
The MMA Media is full of bottom feeders for sure!
I love how ppl are mad at HIM like if you were offered a main event spot on a monumental card would you say no ? Exactly grow up and be happy for bo
he should've said no out of respect
@@Stefan996 respect for what ? Lol He doesn’t owe anyone anything it’s his career
@@Stefan996no the ufc should have never offered. It’s not on bo
@@Stefan996bro stfu what an idiotic comment
He’s a bum
Good god his cauliflower ear is crazy😂
Awsome remark , i ve seen alot worse
thats the ear of a Penn state wrestler
It's pretty bad, but that's the price you pay for 20 plus years of rolling around on a mat. His buzzcut accentuates his cauliflower ears even more but what can you do.
who cares lol, theres hundreds of fighters with it
Got that Alfred E Newman look going for him.
Its not Bo's fault he is given a can and a spot in the main stage. His job is to make a show, and in time, his position will be shown.
we get it, but this shows how UFC doesn't care about what fans have to say. with no fans this corporation is nothing. like it or not he will be star. i don't like it. do you? don't you mind all the hard working guys with records of 15-0 who still can't get UFC contract? I do, I think there are fighters who deserve it more than some college wrestling champ NPC
@@WRNWRW Not agreeing with the process, just recognizing it. Luckily he will have the opportunity to prove himself, or be another CM Punk. He may not be a champion, but he wont be that.
That makes no sense. Bo has a large following and is a promising prospect who has plenty of years to make the company lots of money. You forgetting that most UFC fans are miserable assholes who try to tear down anyone for the most pathetic reasons. Every eat coast wrestler is incredibly exited for Bo's career. It's way past time this part of the county has had proper representation. Rust belt wrestlers are some of the hardest working athletes in the US @@WRNWRW
He refused to fight in anything other than the main event even threatened to leave the ufc if he didn’t. He’s a diva
@nicksantana93 I highly doubt that is true. He has even said he is no rush when it comes to his MMA career
UFC fans love to complain about how there are no big stars like Conor anymore but throw a hissy fit when they push a guy with clear championship potential like Bo. The last guy they pushed like this was Sean and it's worked out well for them. I really don't mind a guy who will most likely end up fighting for a title in Bo opening the main card over guys who almost certainly do not make it back to the belt like Jiri and Cody/Figgy.
All these guys are on Pereira's knuts too like the UFC didn't cherry pick the easiest and fastest path to the title so they could do the Izzy fight with him. People hate on promoting promising fighters, but the UFC keeps doing it...because it works. These rubes will be cheering for him in 2 fights
@ScuffedLandlord alex was already fighting at a high level. Bo is still fighting cans.
@GlitchedNomad bo is a 4x ncaa champion, a combat sport that people actually compete in. Unlike kickboxing. Pereira had the quickest ever route to the belt, and he did it without having to fight a single good grappler. 👍
@ScuffedLandlord your comparing COLLEGE wrestling to world class kick boxing. And he fought jan a good wrestler, and he didn't do anything on the ground.
@@GlitchedNomadthe competition of college wrestling is significantly more than world level kickboxing.
I'm all ears for his interviews
For real?
So is he
@@chris9606for real!
😂😂 I got you
@@chris9606 no bro, just making a reference to his ears
Cody Brundage, if you can hear us please save us. Please save us Cody Brundage.
He will end this bo nikel clown i promise.. cody is game..
Keep dreaming
He will sleep Brundage.
Why are you hating ? Genuine question
The dude seems smart, feet on the ground, and is hella entertaining, always going for the finish
Let’s see what he can bring this time, I don’t get the hate tho
He’s getting slammed on his neck WWE style!
The way he shut down the interview with those last words was cold blooded af. That’s a serious dude right there ☠️
new drinking game: take a shot every time Bo says “it’s interesting”
Rip liver
Remember watching Bo’s NCAA wrestling championship matches online , now he’s out here on UFC300 ! Penn State must be hella proud
He might be talented sure, but the way he's being pushed so hard is like that meme from The Office where Kevin is being force-fed broccoli. The idea he would be on ANY PPV main card is laughable, never mind a PPV as stacked as this.
They are doing it because he is selling PPV’s, dude has been wrestling in stadiums of 15+ thousand people for like 8 years. A corporation like UFC does not just “push” people onto the main card when the undercard is absolutely stacked with big names that also sell PPV’s
@@Braindance98 He isn't selling shi. Dude has no personality.
@@AZ-gs6hj oh damn man your right, you know more than the people who stand to profit from the PPV.
@@Braindance98 it's not because he's selling PPvs it's because they want him to and maybe him dominating a can on the main card will help sell him in the future.
Duh. The UFC is a promotional company. They promote stars and guys who have potential to be a star.
Bo Knuckle
Moose knuckle
He should fight him lol 😭😭😅😅😅
head
This guy is the next George st pierre or fedor. He doesn't need to be an a hole. He just shows up and wins and is happy for the chance. Then he goes home and tries to be a good dad and man in the community. People forget what good men are and start thinking conor McGregor and jake paul are what they need to be. Nah. Remember randy coutre never talked trash either. Nor stipe. Goat fighters don't need to talk trash. They just win.
Fedor and George were humble and goats this guy has beaten no body and has shit on everyone from khamzat to Izzy
I feel like the reason people don't like Bo is how hard the UFC pushes him which I guess is fair, but as a person he seems super level headed and chill
He lost a lot of respect after UFC285
It’s not that. He hella cocky too
Lmao y’all are sad as hell. Why would you not push a potential star? And cocky? He has had less than 3 minutes of combat in the octagon in all fights combined. 😂
@@JetFuelFitit’s a casual narrative to hate him for no real reason other than “hE’s bOrInG”
Khazmat is the worst and people lick him
Bo is definitely a contender for RDA's title as the cauliflower ear champ.
If you listen to Bo’s podcast and hear him talk regularly he is always calm , articulate, and very disciplined and determined. I genuinely believe the hype is very real and the dude will prove it, just like suga did and continues to do
i just wanna thanks to ikram, without him i dont know bo exist
Good answer Bo and God bless my brother.
Bo is a beast. He's gonna go far
why is he still fighting cans?
Absolutely zero hate for Bo. I think he’s a legit contender in the UFC but to be above some of the other fighters on this card is just disrespectful. I hope the best for his career but let’s not act like he deserves to be above half of the prelims.
On a sidenote as a fan, Coach and wrestler in the community, I can tell you that 90% of the wrestling community is not on Bo’s side. He’s actually been dragged on multiple platform for his dumb and out of left field comments regarding one of the greatest American wrestlers in history. so for him to say that people behind the scenes have supported him is honestly funny because he can’t really name any of those people outside of his probably immediate circle.
You're talking complete nonsense. He's a massive favorite amongst wrestlers over here on the east Coast. Every wrestler from my community is incredibly excited for Bo you speak for a very small minority.
Wrestlers definitely do support him lol. Thats you thats butthurt about jordan burroughs
@@Logan-zv4xg bro where ? You say that without backing it up lol I already said his immediate circle are likely the only ones. He’s not getting any support from the wrestling community on this one and actually flow wrestling. The only way fans get to watch wrestling came out and dragged both through the mud about his take. So you can keep coddling up to Bo’s ball sack like you are I’m sure he’ll recognize you at some point.
Bo seams like he’s got a good head on his shoulders and I’m excited to see him climb the ladder in the ufc.
I’m proud to see him representing America and showing the youth a great example of how to carry yourself.
Mericaa...fv€/< yeah
Yessir
I'm a fan of Bo! Yea he's getting pushed.... but plenty of other former ufc starts were just pushed like he is now....
Its not Bo's fault he is given a can and a spot in the main stage. His job is to make a show, and in time, his position will be shown.
Bo is probably my dads favorite fighter, and until this week he always calls him Bo Kimble. I have no idea why lol
This week he finally said “Bo Nickal is fighting this weekend, right?”
You see a man with ears like that, you better respect that man, he will mop the floor with you!
This cat is super intelligent. Confident. Calm. Again, super intelligent about the sport/competing in general. I really don't get the hate (oh wait, yes I do). "Great spirits always face opposition from mediocre minds". 😊
Cody Brundage gonna be like a deer in headlights getting fed to Bo... respectfully.
UFC is so smart at building stars. Just the fact they put him on the main card with only 5 fights, gets people to care....Everyone complaining about his PPV spot, wants to see the fight....BO makes same money either way. Last fight on Prelims could be argued is best for a guy like him.
Wow good questions asked never thought I’d see the day
6:06 "ComplaTENTcy" 🤔 I guess he meant "complacency"? Lol
If he was opening up the prelims we wouldnt have an issue but this guy being over all these former chanps is ridiculous. The ufc backing him like just backfires and now he isnt liked
I like him... I see no reason now to. Why crucify a dude for something the UFC did. It's not Bo's fault that they placed him where they did. Everyone out here acting like it's Bo's fault.
The reality is Bo had no MMA experience whatsoever outside of his 5 pro fights and collegiate wrestling. He's young and has so much time to develop. Why rush him?
He's clearly stated multiple times that him stating "main card or bust" was a simple joke and doesn't care where he is at on a card.
Not even. He should be headlining the early prelims. Absolutely absurd and disrespectful putting him on the main card against a can on a historic ppv.
but then why they hating on bo when he isnt the one who put him there? yall should be mad at dana or whoever chose to put him on the main card not bo
You sound like a child throwing a tantrum I hope you’re not a grown because that’s pretty embarrassing
@DHawk12 and that's nickal's fault how? Why not like a dude for something mick Maynard and hunter Campbell did?
Card placement was strategic to pull ratings throughout
Im actually buying the PPV to watch Bo. I would have purchased it to watch Hill & Justin but I am super curious to see how he does against a seasoned guy who is strong, wrestling backround, finisher, takes a punch and hits hard......He may face adversity in this fight.....Want to see it.
"Alright babe, I'll start wearing headgear."
The only person that loves the sound of his own voice more than Bo Nickal..
.. is Bo Nickal
Same people riding for Bo in this comment section are the same people calling Hill a crybaby for his disdain in his media scrum. Very interesting
If you truly understood what Bo is about to do in ufc you would understand the card placement is just right
I'm glad he's in the ppv card because better fights I want to see on the free prelims
Seems like a decent, humble guy
Low blow bo back at it!
It’s not like it’s Bo’s call where he gets on the card.
I think he’s an honest, good dude. I get people mad that he’s on the main, but don’t be mat at him.
Everyone who loves the UFC has to realize the need to market and develop the next generation. Bo on the main card of UFC 300 is a direct correlation of that thought. Accept it and enjoy the fights
Blown away he didn’t start flapping those ears and take off when it was over.
Wish they gave him Shavkat.
Wallace from Wallace and gromit
Alfred e Newman from mad magazine :)
I bet he loves Wensleydale
There is few things in UFC that make argument for it not being a real sport and the way they promote and treat Bo over (in my opinion) more deserving fighters is one of them.
Bo has fast tracked so much in the ufc because he already is a very skilled and experienced wrestler that could most definitely mop the floor with even the best in the UFC. This guy has been wrestling his whole life….i see this comparable to Michael Chandler entering the ufc from bellator.
The fact is and most people don’t think of is that Bo can already beat anyone in his division.
UFC seem to make this move a lot lately. They did the same with Paddy and then people didn’t like him anymore. Same to a degree with O’Malley, people kind of turn against these guys who UFC push hard.
Am I the only person who likes having Bo on the main card?
I really like Bo but placing him on the ppv card not so much. I would have been okay with him closing out the prelims. I think the ufc is doing Bo and the fans a disservice. But hey what can you do. The card is still amazing. Let's go Bo!!!!
This guy will change the game
I've seen nobody who agrees with Bo about the Burroughs situation😬😬
Everyone mad at Bo for being on the PPV like he chose it 😂
Should it be on the main card? Probably not, but let’s not pretend that they have some filler fights on 300. Bo isn’t fighting a well known, highly ranked guy, but that fight is pretty much guaranteed to be exciting with a flashy finish, I’d much rather see Bo fight than any of the females on the card.
It's not his fault. And at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter where his fight is placed.
BO NICKAL 🔥🔥
The fact that he's on the main card and former champions fight on the prelims is a joke
I’m not against him being on the main card to push his career. Does he deserve it over former champs? Maybe not but hey he’s clearly very talented why not give him a big push. But why against Cody
Brundage?
Let's go Bo!
He say that’s interesting a lot. And also he didn’t do everything he needed to do to beat David Taylor. I like Bo though
this guy gets PPV Place with some low level opponent to boost Him up....what a great move by the UFC dictatorship.
it says allot about the UFC and how they treat the UFC Legends who have allot more Soul Work that this guy.
Has Bo some sort of Greek ancestry , or is it just a Christian statement ?!
Cause his shirt reads 'Christ has Risen' .
It has to do with Christianity.
He is risen hallelujah! Jesus Christ my Lord is returning very soon
It's a Christian statement. We have a great hope because Jesus Christ is our Savior as He paid the price for our sins so we can stand before God through Him. He has defeated death and sin.
what kinda ufc reporter level question is this😂
@@rkitsune3549amen 🙏🏿
bro looks like UEFA champion league trophy.
LETS GO BO!!
Imagine not liking this dude
Bo vs Jack Hermansson next
If this guy just goes out and wins and doesn’t resort to the trash talk boredom, I’m for him.
People keep hating on this guy when he isn’t the one who gets to choose when or where on the card he fights..
Its good to have a respectable champ coming from USA. we had usman even tho he didnt rep the the US. And colby just made America look goofy.
Hating on this guy and calling him cocky is crazy. Dude is the epitome of what young men should strive to be today. Religious, family oriented, determined, respectful, educated. U guys just sound insecure!
He comes off like a young dbag cop.
The envy is real
Yup. A White guy who’s strong, has a family, is respectable, and not a homosexual scares these people
@@LimosaNostra_ what scares us is the ufc thinks fighting cody brundage is acceptable on a ufc 300 main card
Get down on it - if you really want it🎵
Sounds like he just wants to wait out the current division. 28 ain’t too young as fighter years unless he was already fighting the best but he wants to work his way up with not even fighting 3 times a year? Sounds like he’s going to get a title shot by 2027 with that pace and hunger. He’ll be early 30s before that happens. I think he needs to push that pace now
Cody bríndate didn’t get an interview. Everyone else on main card got interviewed. Why not Cody Brundage? Oh maybe because he’s a sacrificial lamb for this weekend.
Funny how people hate on good guys with values
Bo is not a hype but too legit.
I don't think anyone is gonna stop his trajectory for now.
Bo Penny fr until he fights top 10 contender, then he can become Bo dime. Bo Nickal is for top 5, and Bo Dolla is for number 1 contender. Bo shiesty is if he wins the belt. until then, Bo Penny it is
Is the name maclife based off of conor?
Bo is a true representation of incredible coaching. Stop hating on this man for made up reasons.
The kid just started MMA a few years ago. The UFC isn’t going to rush him to fight a high ranked guy
and risk him losing before he learns the necessary standup skills to succeed. If Bo does get another first round finish, then his next guy should be right outside of the top 15. Let’s see how he does against another wrestler first. What if he can’t take Cody down? How will he handle that? Has his standup evolved enough if he can’t get a takedown against another wrestler? Oh and another thing, let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit for the first time and rocked for the first time before he goes and fights a guy like Johnny Eblen, or Jack Hermanson, guys in the higher end of the top 10.
Brock Lesnar was in a UFC main event in his 2nd mma fight and Bo is a more accomplished wrestler. Brock won the title in his 2nd UFC fight. Bo has won 3 times that number of fights in the UFC and destroyed all his competition. So take it easy y’all. He may prove to not be ready but the great thing about this sport is we are going to find out in a couple days, regardless of what casual fans think.
Bo Nickal is the next super star for the UFC
I don't agree with him saying he is fighting better guys. The 2 people he has fought are sacrificial lambs, and the guy he is fighting is not better than the other 2 he is getting the suga treatment
These wrestlers think wrestling is saving them all. The game is changing by the day
Looking ahead, though, (We shouldnt do this), but his next fight has to be ranked. Better be.
lol BO nickel is a massive favorite I doubt brundage wins I will take a shot at him with those odds and I bet Bo next fight he will fight someone better and hopefully those odds are the same
Screw all these haters man , BO is going to be champion within two years. Most interesting rising star. Come back to this comment in 2026. 💯
No needs for analysis on this fight because cody bundange doest have reliable takedown defense. Bo nickal will submit him on 1 round. I'm not really excited. It feels like a cliche. I hope his next fight give him more high level competition in my preferences would be ikram aliskerov.
Let's be honest this isn't bo fault. Would you just say no dana don't put me on the ppv card?
UFC is pushing because he’s exciting to watch. Bo beep is the real deal.
I actually like Bo. He's a very talented fighter. Not sure why ppl like this guy so much
Dude should defo wrestle when he fights top 5 cause his striking average but respect his wrestling I don’t think anyone can wrestle with him
Should've put him on the early prelims
Yeah you are so jelly are you not?
They should have co- mained him just for haters like you.
@jmajor5262 in reality he should not be on the ppv for 300. The highest he should be is the last pre-lim fight. He's a stud but he's getting uncle Dana love. His record by no means gets him on the main card.
@@gjukic No he should be on the main card period because he is a ncaa champ american badass. Thankfully you have no say and never will.
@@jmajor5262 @jmajor5262 get off Bo's tip. Im happy hes a ncaa champ. Hes 5 and 0..not to be on the 300 main card. Newbies like yourself may think so. But in reality it was a gift from uncle dana to get the push. You will learn one day and younowe me 50 for the education.
@@jmajor5262 He a former UFC champ? Didn’t think so. There are 6 former champs that are fighting before him. All of which should be ahead of a prospect like Bo.
In a few years, we will be talking abut Bo as the greatest of all time Mark my words
lol
It's gonna be between him and Tom Aspinall
Marvin vettori trained with bo nickal but wouldn't fight brendan Allen
Kid handles himself well. But I get why people break his balls. But people also get jealous hearing 2100 fav. We’ll see on Saturday.
"Everybody was on the same page as me". Can go into politics with those lies.
