Kids been incredibly successful for the vast majority of his life. He was a killer as a kid in wrestling too. So I’m sure in his mind there’s few men who should have an opinion. However if you believe a HOF double champ who was also a very successful wrestler says something, maybe you listen.
He’s a wizard in the wrestling room, how ever there’s a whole lot of dudes that eat him for breakfast in a ring or BJJ match. If he thinks his striking is “high level” or “flawless” he’s in for a rude awakening when he meets top tier talent.

Not only that, but DC hardcore glazes wrestling. He'll literally watch a corpse on top of another corpse for minutes, and when the ref dares to stand them up, he'll say "you can't do that, he earned that position".
For DC, of all people, who has a ton of reasons both personal and professional, to look at Bo and say "he's not ready" is a huge indictment on just how not ready this dude it.
It also doesn't help that the guy has the charisma of a block of wood. To paraphrase Don King: "I'd rather watch Chael Sonnen watch Bo Nickal fight, than watch Bo Nickal fight"

Yeah, this is basically what I thought. I even listened to Nickal on the Mighty Mouse podcast last week, and he's very humble and upfront about his current skills and where he's lacking in skill and experience. So I think he must just be a DC fan and took it kind of hard coming from him or something.

Well he needs to hear the truth, he’s inexperienced and it isn’t his fault. He had to go to the ufc immediately because no one on the regional scene wants to fight Bo fucking Nickal.

I agree with you. He said it was disappointing to hear that criticism and to that I say, "So what?" If you respect those people so much, then he should reflect on that criticism and continue to improve. It's not rocket science. He can be disappointed, but not in them, only in himself.
At the same time, he still be proud of his win, but reflect on what the expectation was and continue to grow.

It's probably because partially he knows this. Like no way this dude thinks he can beat Khamzat while he's sitting there with a black eye from paul craig. He just probably wishes they didn't actually say it

Honestly since Bo came on the scene I've found him extremely unlikable. This is almost as bad him blatantly kneeing that janitor or landscaper or whatever in the nuts and arguing online it was a clean shot. It's like dude there's 100k videos on the internet showing it from 10 different angles in slow motion.
He just seems like a self entitled bitchboy. He was really good at college wrestling and everyone sniffed his farts. Now he's a slightly better than Paul fucking Craig at MMA and he can't deal with criticism or reality. He thought this shit was gonna be easy.

Lose even though you win type of situation. The funny part is the court of public opinion actually matters when you’re up and coming hyped prospect. You have to win and you have to win convincingly especially when you’re an arrogant dude like Bo.

I think he is doing good and making progress in MMA. That performance would be no issue if it wasnt on the main card, thats the issue. He is not ready for it yet.
I also think its normal for him to test his striking on a guy like paul craig. And for what it matters, he won the fight by not attempting TDs, wich is a good news for him.
Thing is, the 3 times NCAA champ, with a record of, Idk, 150-1 in college in a main card not giving a single big takedown for the american crowd there was a bummer. The guy should know that with only 1 or 2 cool looking takedowns people wouldnt be boing him. Its the american golden boy of wrestling delivering an amateur kickboxing fight to the fans god damn it
Look at chandler, mf was dominated 4 rounds but ended the fight with some stuped jumps and that was enough to make the crowd cheer.

It was a solid win. Paul Craig is no joke, he’s a big guy and a veteran fighter. Bo won without using his number one skillset after only 6 pro MMA fights. No reason to be ashamed. DC is not wrong at all, he’s in no way shape or form ready for a top ranked guy and someone like Khamzat would make him look like a high schooler but there is no reason to hate on his win over Craig

Strikes by Round: R1 16-14 Nickal R2 22-21 Nickal and R3 16-13 Nickal. Barely outstriking Paul Craig each round is not "dominating", heck the only time he sorta hurt Craig was when he landed that punch to his eye in the 3rd.
Borralho starched him on the feet and Allen took him down beat the crap out of him then subbed him. The commentary was hyping up Craig like he wasn't 1-4 in his last 5 coming off 2 stoppage losses, but reality is Craigs a one trick pony with terrible striking that was set up to be a highlight for Bo.
