Nice UFN card. Wait, this is UFC 300? What a joke.
5.
A win over Brundage is a net negative.
Premature hype can have this effect, though.
If everyone is talking about Nickal taking huge fights right away, then we're still getting Brundage after 4 fights in the UFC/DWCS, it suggests he's not actually very good.
Don't forget, people are still looking for a Brock Lesnar-type figure who can fight for the title right away.
If Bo Nickal isn't a Brock Lesnar-type, don't sell him as one, it will only serve as a millstone around his neck.
JIri and Rakic are goodThese are three of more than likely 13-15 fights. They're all good ones as well. I don't understand the complaints in here.
I thought Nickal vs Brundage was a joke…Seriously?
Jiri-Rakic can't be right.
This has to be rumour mill shit.
Nickal-Brundage is extremely negative. They're falling into the Paddy Pimblett trap.
All good fights. I think Aljo deserves a better opponent though.Jiri vs. Rakic
Aljo vs. Kattar
Nickal vs. Brundage
Gonna need a banger of a main event to save this card.
UFC isn't dying but certainly has lost quite a lot of its magic.Jiri vs. Rakic
Aljo vs. Kattar
Nickal vs. Brundage

Bo needs a title shot, obviouslySeriously?

Calling it a piss mat like a teenager is pretty much frothing at the mouthI had a nice big smile on my face remembering the hilarity of people being hyped for UFC 200 and then getting given Miesha Tate main eventing on a piss-mat, not sure where this mouth frothing idea comes from.
I find the prospect of UFC 300 being the fight-card equivalent of Dana announcing dolls quite humorous, even though I would rather a good card.
These 3 fights don't prove or disprove that UFC 300 will be equally underwhelming. But I think they are an early nod to the negative outcome. And they are certainly not the types of announcements to start trotting out shill talking points over.

Sorry but who should someone with 5 fights and 2 years of training be fighting?What I'm saying is, the hype and reality becomes jarring when he's still fighting Cody Brundage in his 6th fight lol
This is Bellator booking.
I agree that they should develop and let him gain experience, but they've already pumped him full of steroid-level-hype so it's kinda the late stages for that, everyone is expecting some bang for their buck.
Cody Brundage is terrible, and a risk-averse booking.
Bo is still a top quality wrestler, even if he's weak in a few areas. Give him someone like Abu Azaitar, someone who looks dangerous on paper but who would be generally useless against a wrestler.

This reminds me of the Raul Rosas situation whete just because he was being marketed people wanted him to fight fucking top 10s at 18.
