bnwtwg Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Draft Kings has a future on Nickal at +1200 to be champ on Dec 31, 2023. The toughest part may not be ability but scheduling/climbing the ladder in short time since his next fight isn’t until March. But just like Gable at the Olympics, now is the time to take the action on the wrestler before Vegas catches up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I don't see him getting THAT fight this year. Next year maybe. But there are a lot of dues to pay. Cejudo didn't get there for 5 years. Really tough to see how this could be done. mspart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cejudo didn't get there for 5 years. Really tough to see how this could be done. mspart UFC seems to want to make him a priority this yet. As long as he reminds exiting in fights to fans I think he get to some ranked fights relatively quickly. But agree he likely won’t be near title fight status before next year. Not to mention Dana does like to slow roll the hyped on a few big names as they get closer to a title to ensure the most fan interest. So you have to figure if he’s running through some talented people Dana will give him 3 top 10 fighters prior to the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Parrish Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Maybe he could do a charity event and pack Pat Downey into a 5 gallon bucket ... for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't "Pencil Neck," or something like that, what he used to call Nickal when they were both rasslin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatWhiteNorth Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Bo should walk away with this one. Some limited striking, eventually to the ground and game over for Pickett. I'm watching if I can source a suitable link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocraTease Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Bo Nickal vs. Jamie Pickett Round 1 – Nickal goes for a head kick and slips, Pickett rushes in and Nickal clinches him. Nickal now presses him against the cage. Nickal gets a front headlock and spins around and gets the back. Nickal threatening with a rear-naked choke. He transitions to an arm-triangle choke. It looks tight! Three minutes left. Nickal keeps squeezing. Props to Pickett, he’s lasting a good while. And there’s the tap! It’s over! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Parrish Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) https://mmashare.fullfight.video/2023/03/ufc-285-bo-nickal-vs-jamie-pickett.html Inside thigh shot at 4:25 on the UFC clock. Look at the expression on Pickett's face and the right leg flinch. Edited March 5 by Mike Parrish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looked a bit sketchy. Shit happens and I wouldn't throw shade at Nickal for that. If you ask me - and no one has - Nickal had some nerves and didn't show much in this fight. Down the road, he is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

mspart Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Looks like Nickal won by submission. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJB Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 it was pretty straight forward... might have been a cup check that helped with the initial TD, but, the end result was never in doubt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least in that area. Looked unintentional though, and I haven't seen many of his fights, it's only sketchy to me if there's any intent behind it. To me it just looked like a newcomer under the bright lights...way faster than normal and maybe didn't measure his shots like he'd wanted to. I was hoping to see a little bit of his striking for my own benefit to see what he looks like, but again, for the last reason, guessing he was just looking for the Win. I'm sure we'll see more the next time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
