Bo Nickal MMA
- Thread starter bourbon n blues
- Start date
As a follow up, I just saw this interview of Bo by Ariel Helwani where the possibility of fighting Jacob Malkoun was mentioned. Interesting that Bo said (around 21 minute mark) he doesn't view Malkoun as a step up from his last opponent so that fight doesn't make sense for his progression. He also said earlier in the interview that he wanted to fight next in July or August.
Obviously the UFC had other plans.
The Malkoun fight is fake news. Straight from the horses mouth. Bo is not fighting him at 302.
It certainly hasn’t been confirmed by the UFC and isn’t included in the full fight card linked below. Seems the rumor was started by Malkoun’s tweet claiming Bo agreed to the fight and other MMA sources have just assumed it is true.

Bo sits w/ Bryce Meredith in place of Ant the Champ, breaks down trials in the 2nd half, and reveals that when Jason got hurt vs Rutgers, he tore his MCL, PCL and Meniscus. 😮 Also says Jason "wasn't right" for match 2 vs Dake, but wouldn't go into detail.

Not remotely shocked at the severity of Nolf's injury. Remember feeling like vomiting seeing it happen and Nolf's reaction. How that referee let that position continue was a fireable offense.

I know nothing about MMA fighters, but some FB comments say Paul Craig is a good opponent

Nickal faces a steep mountain to climb against Craig, who has had an up-and-down run at 185lbs since cutting from light heavyweight. He most recently fell to Caio Borralho at UFC 301 by second-round knockout.
Craig has earned wins over the likes of Jamahal Hill, Shogun Rua, and Nikita Krylov during his UFC tenure. The 36-year-old Craig is a complicated puzzle to solve for any opponent.
Nickal’s wrestling base will face a challenge against Craig’s guard, arguably one of the best in the UFC. But, the two middleweights have also shown to be capable strikers if opportunities present themselves.

Definitely a step up in competition. Craig has one of the better submission games and is good off his back so Bo will have to be careful. I still think Bo runs through him but it should be a bit tougher than his previous fightsBo’s next opponent announced
