When Will Bo Nichal Get A Big Fight? What Are They Waiting For?

[machidafan99]

I believe Weidman was his age the first time he fought Anderson so what's the hold up?

 

[svmr_db]

Bo doesn't even have 10 minutes in the cage as a pro yet, how much of a step up in competition are you expecting?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Needs to crush more cans to get to around 10-0 before he gets a top 5 fight. He's only 5 fights deep.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Maybe a top 15 match up, to see how he does.

He's obviously a highly talented wrestler, but a lot of unknowns until he steps up against legit, proven competition.

 

[Poirierfan]

I know right? Bo's a seasoned vet at this point, get him a big fight ffs. His retirement is literally right around the corner.

 

[nostradumbass]

He said he prefers crushing cans, but UFC 300 is the only card he'd accept being on the prelims, and will slowly take real fights later on.

He is literally on the biggest card in some time, UFC 300. That's a "big fight".

 

[Tweak896]

I could've swore he said he was ready for a jump up this year in competition after he healed from his injuries. Who knows? I think UFC will grant him the skill level he wants and he made the call to hold back. Bo knows more than we do what its like in training against guys in his weight class. Without sharp striking he would be destroyed by a guy like Robocop.

 

[azerty]

he said he doesn't want to fight ranked fighters for like the next txo years...but he also says that DDP, pereira, adesanaya ,chimaev are all easy work

 

[Conor Strickland]

Brundage is no joke bro. Let's see him get past Brundage first then we can see him fight a real killer like Brad Tavares

Jon Jones was on the 100 prelims. The UFC have Bo in the same spot.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

He has this plan where he will face a ranked guy two years from now.

I think he said that after 300, he wants somebody lurking just outside the rankings. Then two more of those type of fights the next year.

It's time to face Khamzat, 28 yrs old is around athletic peak.

I think it’s just the headlines w him talking about names like Chimaev and stuff are making people already mentally picture him fighting top guys instead of thinking about a logical progression

 

[TITS]

I'd rather see him fight carnies.

 

[blaseblase]

Slow your roll. He only has 5 total fights and been competing for a year and a half. Let him develop.

Hope they step it up soon.

 

[Striker Fox]

Let him develop.

Everybody in the top 10 is already "easy work", why waste time?

 

[BOTTICELLI]

2025, he needs lower level guys for 3 more fights
