I see no reason whatsoever to rush him.
Transition him into bouts with better and better strikers. It's hard to get that experience in the gym.
He needs to learn to fight out of a few bad situations, dig deep and win, which I think he will do.
It's not good for anyone if they toss Bo in with a top 3 guy too soon and he gets taken out. Sure he will come back from a loss I am sure, but imagine the gate if a year or so from now he gets a title shot with a 15-0 resume and some big names on the most recent post of his hit list.

Sources: Nickal out of scheduled UFC 282 debut
MMA prospect Bo Nickal is out of his debut fight against Jamie Pickett that was scheduled for UFC 282 on Dec. 12, sources confirmed with ESPN on Friday.
Looks like Nickal is out for his UFC debut
Another Bo MMA video, about his now delayed, upcoming fight. All this talk about Carter and his unlimited belief in himself and his ultimate confidence and Bo Nickal says hold my beer.😁
He won't be getting a Title shot in a year at 15-0 as a Pro. Even aggressively, he would only be able to fight 5-6 times at most.
I would give it an 18-24 month timeframe. While I think he can easily bang out wins against anyone not in the T20, they are going to slow play him. Lambert, ATT et al. aren't dumb. Let Izzy and Bobby Knuckles age out two more years and then Bo can earn the belt and set him up with a superfight against Chimaev.
Reality is we don't have any idea how his striking looks. I also don't agree with Bo's personal assessment that he's a BJJ wizard. While grappling is grappling, there are still a ton of intricacies of BJJ he needs to learn.
They talk about Bo’s MMA skills and then they talk about Penn States Wrestling’s prospects for 22/23.
Anthony’s pre-fight interview, gotta love the toothpick.
Ant the Champ is going to become a real draw in MMA. With Lemon Pie promoting him, and his training partners, the sky’s the limit. Should land a nice tooth pick endorsement as well 😉
