[@Buff_Dave_Oprtr]

Agree. He's the real deal.

@@jamesattwood7441 yeah for sure but it's all comparative. If he fought a good striker, we'd see how good his striking actually is. Like Islam vs volk. Islam striking is fine against most guys he fought but against volk, he didn't look too good. Only thing he had was decent timing.

Bo Nickals first 5 opponents combined record is 30-9 when he fought them while Khabib’s first 15 opponents combined record was 37-26 😬😬😬

[@mdilla-nh5ek]

underrated stat that should be looked at more!

[@entrail8633]

Khabibs record was not that impressive because of his first fights but because of his last fights. Porier, gaethje, mcgregor, barboza and also by the fact that he won those fights but he won them dominantly and with losing maybe 1 round in his whole career. The fact that gaethje switched up his stance just because he was afraid of khabibs wrestling says a lot when you think about gaethje is usually known to be a forward pressing guy that does not matter getting hit a lot.

[@someguynamedsteve3753]

@@entrail8633 khabib fought 6 good guys, his 29-0 is the most padded record of all time. Khabib is the most overrated fighter of all time.

[@entrail8633]

@@someguynamedsteve3753 the way most of these top guys talk about his skills after getting beaten tells another story. Did he retire to early? Sure I would love to see him demolish everybody for a few more years. But don’t act like he is not an incredible fighter. And he fought at least 6 good fighters. Don’t get me wrong I think bo is also a pretty strong fighter and I also think he will accomplish a lot and maybe even exceed khabib, but only because bo is good there is no reason to trash another fighter.

[@someguynamedsteve3753]

@@entrail8633 dude he grappled with people that didn’t know how to grapple. You can say Dustin Poirier is a black belt in Jiu Jitsu even tho he sucks at Jiu Jitsu. Also Khabib would not go undefeated in todays era. There are too many fighters that can match his grappling and beat him on the feet. He fought 6 good guys and I will name them all, Gaethje, Poirier, Conor, RDA, Barbosa, and Michael Johnson. Everyone else sucked including Tibau. Most overrated fighter of all time.

Bo vs khamzat needs to happen

[@colecampbell1906]

I wish, but kumshot will dodge tf out of that fight. He doesn't wanna fight anyone unless he has some massive advantage somewhere, whether it be size or a grappling skill gap.

[@Masheen]

@@colecampbell1906Isn’t that exactly what Bo Nickal is doing as well? 🤣🤣🤣

[@colecampbell1906]

@@Masheen not in the slightest. He hasn't had a single guy say they wanna fight him and pass up the opportunity to build a fight. Kumshot did that multiple times and still to this day is doing it. Nobody wants to fight Bo, and this fight tonight is why. They don't want to get flatlined by the up and comer, that doesn't help them in any way. Bo isn't a huge draw yet so it's not like they'll get rich off it. They either gotta be confident they'll win, or get a massive payday either way, which they aren't.

[@Masheen]

@@colecampbell1906 We don’t know if Khamzat is ducking fights or not. He’s had visa issues for a while. I’m saying that Bo Nickal is also fighting with a size advantage and obviously he’s a world class grappler.

[@colecampbell1906]

@@Masheen you might not, but the rest of us do. He complains that nobody will fight him, come to find out there's MULTIPLE people actively trying to get a fight with him and HE'S not biting. The visa stuff wasn't until recently, and it's already proven to be bullshit because he keeps going to all these other countries for training and shit. If it were true, he wouldn't have been allowed to do that stuff. He can 100% travel, he just isn't signing to fight anyone. As for Bo, no he's not. You clearly didn't watch the fight tonight if you think he's actively looking for smaller guys to weight bully. That guy was bigger than him. He's literally just taking whatever fights he can get until he can fight for rankings. Until he has an option to fight someone with decent takedown defense that's his size or bigger, and turns it down or avoids it, we can't say he's doing the same.
