@@warrax111 I'm only responding to you saying 1 fight a year when his 5 fights so far were in One Year and he's 5-0 ! That means nothing because he hasn't really faced anyone but as a fan I'm kind of excited to see how far he can go and maybe I'm pushing it by saying it'll be great but a definitive answer of No before anything has even happened is more bold of a claim than me saying this is going to be great!

His greatest asset that I see is his lightening fast reflexes. He confuses his opponents with a mix of appearing to take you down and unloading a broadside to your ear. Or looking like he is going to strike and dives for the legs. He knows so many take down techniques from his extremely high level wrestling days. He is a scary guy with a lot of tools. Wish him well in his career.

Part of that was marketing and making sure that he was getting the attention of Dana White. He's not just a fighter. This is his job. And in this line of work, challenging other people explicitly is one way to get more work (i.e., fights). It has been done that way for a long time in different fighting sports. Calling out the next guy you want, etc. Sounds dumb, but that's how they do it. People who watch this are watching people trying to kick the crap out of others. But if they say, "I'm better than you," they get all annoyed like the guy should be humbler. It's weird. haha

Now that i just read your comment, i had to mention this fact. about 10 or11 months back i was in the Penn st. area at a "sheetz gas station" getting gas and notice these real two SHADY cats seriously eyeing and approaching a man (with his back exposed to these tattooed faced fools) putting his little baby in the back seat. I then, very aggressively told those shady tatt wearers to back up and don't even think about it. They immediately backed up and walked away, it was a week later that i realized it WAS Bo putting his baby in the backseat. He had NO CLUE this TRUE event even happened, my point is that i'm SO GLAD i was there at that very moment !! Best wishes to you and yours and stay safe out there.

Both these guys had tatts on there faces and necks and i didnt like the way they were eyeballing and approaching him while his back was turned and there was a baby involved. I did not know it was Bo at that moment, it was only when it was over and he turned around that i recognized him. As a lifelong martial artist myself since 69, i was always taught to practice and have a very keen situational awareness. That attribute HAS saved me and others many times over the decades.

Yeah, will take all belts from middleweight to heavyweight and then beat AJ in boxing also. Like for real, his opponents in UFC have 0-7 in their last 7 fights in UFC.

I don’t think he’s intentionally replicating khabib, but who knows as I don’t know everything about this man Bo. But it seems they are genuinely similar in nature. They display an elevated sense of awareness and clarity, allowing them to posses extreme discipline and channel their energy to the mastery of their craft. Plus men of god, and that’s massive imo. This is all my opinion, but it sounds like we genuinely agree and I’m just yappin I admit lol

He's already a master of footwork and distance management but from a wrestling perspective rather than striker roots like an Anderson Silva and I think its translating into MMA super well.
