  • Even in the talent-rich world of MMA, Bo Nickal is a real standout. A long-time folkstyle wrestler of the highest caliber, he discovered devastating power in his hands upon transitioning to MMA, dusting off every single opponent inside a round. It’s time to follow the footsteps of this ambitious fighter, who is now hailed as the biggest rising star in the UFC.

    Started wrestling at the age of 5. That there is the reason he is so good.
    So many times i see people saying "mountain genetics" when talking about Dagestanis disregarding the fact that they like Bo have been training their entire life.

I then, very aggressively told those shady tatt wearers to back up and don't even think about it. They immediately backed up and walked away, it was a week later that i realized it WAS Bo putting his baby in the backseat.

Calling out the next guy you want, etc. Sounds dumb, but that's how they do it. People who watch this are watching people trying to kick the crap out of others.

    The fact that he strikes like that after just a year and so, it is crazy. He looks like a season MMA fighter but with the hunger of a young blood. Best combo!!

    He's great, without a doubt...but he's also the perfect example of stat-padding in the UFC. They clearly know what they have in him as a contender, but it just reminds me of boxing and I can't help but to mention it.

      He fought a 7-0 guy in his 3rd pro fight. That's not stat-padding. Almost all ufc fighters had easier opponents for their 3rd mma bout. Not even talking about Khabib lol

      The guy is only a few years into his fighting career and already fighting UFC level talent. Not sure you understand what stat padding actually is.
