How did this guy get a main card spot while Yiri fought on the undercard.

[@kediryebre200]

exactly

[@chad_b]

Most fights on the prelims or even early prelims would have been better on the main card than this one

[@aname5669]

White, young, white, has the look, NCAA champ, white, UFC’s new little toy that they want to push down our throats to like, and white

[@skoobs3983]

So that people like you can go and comment the same thing on every post and boost engagement everywhere

[@domanikmoyer]

Ask Dana, it’s not his fault… But surely you already knew that

[@hep4104]

Nickal training with Poirier would definitely work out good for the both of them.

[@spencerdunn6933]

That's exactly who Bo needs as a mentor

[@carllevi3136]

I can see that. Not a bad idea at all.

[@ShoaibKurdi]

they're both with american top team so they alr train together

[@angeldelcueto3513]

Dude is humble, and great! Where’s the hate coming from?😂

[@Hydra-cy3yg]

Great? He fought a bottom 50 opponent on ufc 300 over the number one contender fight for the light heavyweight division. He also has the personality of raw pasta.

[@Soggyfrenchfry45]

It's not really coming from people hating on him. It's what the UFC is giving him as far as matchups. He knows he's fighting bums. That's why he's so hard on himself. He was one of the biggest favorites I've ever seen in gambling on UFC. Minus $1,400 or something like that. That fight shouldn't have been on the pay-per-view or main card. Whatever. And Jiri is definitely way more deserving of a spot like that than he is at this point. And I'm a former college wrestler so I love Bo but hasn't even begun to climb the ladder yet

[@Figgy636]

Against who? Uber drivers or postmen?

[@JONELMixvideos]

Hahahahahaha he struggles.. kamzat didn't struggles he's 10 fights

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

no, UFC fighters. He has 6 fights. Stop complaining about nothing

[@farzana6676]

​@JONELMixvideos Khamzat was fighting in Brave FC when he had 6 fights 😂

[@user-yj6rz6qj6c]

@@JONELMixvideos This guy kills Kazmat. I mean Kazmat can't wrestle him that's for sure.

The Ultimate Can Crusher

[@charlescharlemagne4907]

he has 6 fights you annoying casual

[@debanjanghosal618]

If he really believe he's that good, give him someone like Burns or Sean Brady, but please stop giving him absolute cans

[@crs092]

Yeah kind of like when Khabib first started?

[@nixonesport1998]

Different weight class

[@tombystander]

Burns is a WW and Sean Brady is a great choice

[@moto-fl3rd]

Bo has 6 pro fights! I don't know if he even has any amateur fights. But yeah let's just feed him to the champ...

[@AhPhoey]

Brady and Burns are welterweights....but why not

[@crs092]

Bo haters, go to your local track and take a lap.(if you’re physically fit enough)

[@toby099]

So your that one collegiate wrestling fan that tuned in

[@JONELMixvideos]

He struggles over driver fighter hahaha lol

[@MASTRA1]

@@toby099 I dont think you realize how big collegiate wrestling is

[@AcidGlow]

Eventually they will give him tougher matches over time. Then everyone can appreciate his skills. It looks like a slow buildup but it's fine.

[@4c6f]

Why is he on the main card then huh?

[@AcidGlow]

@@4c6f to give him some more exposure

[@sandman62100]

Bo is undeniable. He will be the greatest ever in a few years time

[@alrikjohansson9888]

😂 he gets stopped by khamzat

[@toby099]

The ufc will push him too far too quickly and ruin him just like they did with Darren till

[@Aryan-qj2th]

😂😂 greatest ever

[@Aryan-qj2th]

Fighting bums doesn't make you great

[@loadinglt166]

Someone from top 10 will stop him easy😂

[@devadasn]

I’m glad he didn’t feel good about that because that isn’t good enough to be champ. But I do think he’s capable of being a dominant champ and he’s showed it in the past but tonight wasn’t it. But him being disappointed shows he knows what it takes which is a good sign

[@moto-fl3rd]

He's basically an amateur. 6 pro fights. Everyone needs to chill. He needs time to grow into the sport!

[@devadasn]

@@moto-fl3rdI get you and yeah I agree. He’s cursed with having so much promise that most fans think he should be further than he is but in reality he’s a newbie. I think he’ll do well tho

[@floid6170]

The most dominant fighter in the world: khabib! Watch his fights with top20-30 can crushers and you’ll see him struggle a lot more but he evolved into a beast

[@devadasn]

@@floid6170he’s overrated, most his wins don’t even have a wiki page. He defended his belt only three times

[@floid6170]

@@devadasn You are not getting the point

[@RedLegs13b]

Bo is a beast considering who’s he fought so far. This win shows that he’s at another level.

[@JRoe-ww1wv]

Bo better work on them hands but good performance against a seasoned guy

[@user-vq1mb5gv2w]

One of the best college wrestlers . Wrestlers will always come on top

[@Brandon4rdMusic]

Pause

[@Yourmomshousemyrules]

On top of your mom. Zing

[@samoz7496]

Somebody, please explain me why this guy deserved to be in the main card of ufc 300.

[@inkjunky_davidjones9215]

Bo’s the truth

[@sailingtramontana8103]

Let’s be honest, he most likely wouldn’t beat Usman or Burns

[@zaahierstanley955]

Surely he need top 10 now?

[@nicolemerrill9167]

Hey he is still learning

[@actionjackson4942]

Give him khamzat stop giving him uber drivers 😂😂😂

[@Razear]

He obviously has really high expectations of himself, but the man only has a handful of fights. A quick, dominant finish is fun, but people also wanna see a guy get tested.

[@melissabritt3791]

People can say what they want about dillashaw but cody hasn't been the same since

[@debanjanghosal618]

Cody took a dive

[@skinfluithero4885]

Bo really lunges with his strikes. If he cleans that up, and becomes more patient. He will be an all time great

[@JONELMixvideos]

Lol?? Bo isn't fame dream on

[@natewells734]

He needs to train with Matt Serra and get some BJJ.

[@SatoshiShintoMe]

Hall of Fame fight!

Megan still a baddie at 38

U just talkn khamzat fought up and coming undefeated fighters, bot

[@bennybuffylove]

This guy is so awesome. He's not one of the tattoo freaks. Keep it clean Bo, you don't need tattoos to get noticed.

[@Gejokuge]

Jesus Christ. I sometimes think im a bit of a dinosour, but how can you still have a stigma against Tatoos in 2024?

[@bennybuffylove]

@@Gejokuge LOL...because there is no reason to have one. Besides, it's mutilating the body's biggest organ....your skin. One or 2 little one's are fine, but when stay start doing the whole arms, legs, chest, back, neck, face, etc., that is called self-mutilation.

[@alanbaira6493]

Turned out he is overrated

Yeah

he only fights cans

Why is he so arrogant ?? After beating those trash cans he acts like he is already a champion. I can't wait for him to get humbled.

He’s better than paddy at least and Sean O’Malley did the same thing

[@JONELMixvideos]

Trash performance if bo

[@domanikmoyer]

Arrogant? The whole interview was basically him saying he knew he didn’t perform to his best abilities and will work to get better
