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.

⁠@@shanghunter7697Nice man your awesome. I think you saved those guys from Bo 😂

[@shanghunter7697]

@@odinm5331 T.y. man, i like to think so. 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. Very best wishes to you and yours brother.

[@mixedmartialnutrition1746]

his movement is insane not many use footwork and flows like that in mma makes his striking freakin good at such an early level in his career.. WOW.

[@jojitateoka4605]

8:31 damnnn, that's sportsmanship and respect. He felt his opponent might tap out, he released that hand even with the risk of him (Bo) getting punched in the face.

[@TravisCotter]

He is one bad ass man. Freestyle wrestling demands the highest level of conditioning. I like wrestlers in MMA, they are the most entertaining to watch. NEO X

[@davidrose3737]

Wow God Bless this guy a true warrior for God..

[@FaiT90]

its awesome to see how respectfully he releases directly after taps from opponents.

[@9and7]

Yeah how he executes his nutcrackers too 9:28....

[@offroad6309]

People can say what they want. Several clips showed him telling the official the other guy was out or tapping. Unlike some he is there to win not destroy his opponents long term. I respect sportsmanship.

[@Mikeztarp]

9:28 "Unsettling the foe with a nutcracker". You said that like it was fine, not illegal or underhanded at all.

[@user-os6ch5pt7w]

Yep. Couldn't get the takedown like he is accustomed to, so, he played dirty with a clearly deliberate nut shot that somehow went unnoticed by all. Dana White privilege will cause selective blindness, as usual. FEED HIM MORE CANS!!!!!

[@regularguy8771]

This guy proves if you set a goal and work very hard you can be successful. A good clean life will never let you down.

[@mikemacdude]

My favorite fighter. He's heading for the belt.

[@sheikmohamed5598]

He won't get the belt. He will be same as paddy

[@МихаилЧалый-щ3ж]

Because he beat some guy who lost 5 last fights in ufc (even to some fighters that are not UFC caliber at all like Tiululin) and some complete noname who came in on 4 days notice? 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. Sure, UFC is trying to skyrocket and hype Bo but let's wait for him face competition that is _actually_ UFC level and not people who are "just kick this guy out of the promotion" material.

[@yehiak8711]

@@МихаилЧалый-щ3ж Yeah UFC matchmaking is really dodgy at times. Instead of pairing with another dangerous upcomer in Ikram aliskerov or Bruno, they give him a guy whos lost 3/5 last fights and a guy whos lost 4/5 last fights. Regardless, I think he's going to be in the top 10-15 1-2 years from now

Bo is the real deal. Love watching him. Not just that morally he where he needs to be. Stay the course Bo.

[@brotherowl]

Only thing I can say is, you do not broadcast your intentions, you do not bask in glory for victories yet unwon, and you stay humble, authentic, focused, connected, present, and silent as your journey unfolds. That is how a master handles himself.

[@laurens9561]

Yea, I'm sure you live up to your own expectations....

[@te_learning]

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

[@adumbsnail1999]

anyone replicating a Khabib path is one to not underestimate. Wrestlers are actually the most dangerous combaters

[@brennengodeen3796]

If I had to pick only one prior martial arts discipline, I would choose wrestling/grappling. Ben Askren was dominant but not the wrestler Bo is. Once Askren was signed by the UFC, he was already due for bilateral hip replacements.

[@Stampedby__bonetti]

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

[@exponentmantissa5598]

Not even close to replicating Khabibs path - he is only 3-0 and over 200 other fighters have done this.
