That was pretty telling.

RDR thought that fight was hilarious.

it's crazy how the UFC (and boxing) can make fighters look to be elite when building them up and matching them against bums..... then the moment they are finally forced to fight legit talent, they almost always collapse

a lot of people bought into the Nickal hype, he was nearly a 4 to 1 favorite tonight.

Couldn't have gone worse for Figueiredo. Rough stuff.

Some fun moments tonight.

JDM-Belal next up. Feel like it might be similar to Leon-Brady and Belal might just smother him on the ground. Added intrigue since it sounds like the winner of this fight will determine whether Islam-Topuria happens at UFC 317.

Just look at his weigh in and tell me nikal should be in the ufc.

He looks nothing like the dudes he’s fighting.

Also. IMO, nikal looked he like did not like being hit at all. I know, everyone should hate it but he looked like this wasn’t worth it to him.

I wonder if he'll pursue international wrestling again soon before he's too old. He's great at scrambling in mma, but that's about it. He isn't even great at takedowns, which is amazing.

He also does all his training at State College, so how high level are their mma gyms/training partners there?

Dude looks like he needs to get in better shape and move down to 170.

Who is Bo beating, ever, though? He'd get absolutely starched by anyone in the top 7 at welterweight if he even managed to luck his way there. He might have a shot at 8-11 on their way out of the top 15, but he'd have to win at least a couple more fights to probably even get another ranked opponent after that last performance. And for what? He's 29 with only a competitive wrestling base in the UFC currently. He doesn't look like he has any interest in going through the kind of wars it takes to make any meaningful headway up the rankings.

I remember when people on this board thought Bo Nickal could beat Poatan at 185.
