PBP DWCS 2022: Week 3, Aug. 9, 8 PM ET/5 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

His grappling seems good enough to beat a bunch of the shitty fighters on the UFC's roster. It's so bloated nowadays.

He'll probably beat some regional level guys. I hope so anyway. I hate seeing guys without a lot of fight experience get pushed too aggressively. It can ruin some guys. Bo is obviously talented, but the UFC is a shark tank.

Watch as Dana invites Bo onto the next TUF season

 

[Ares Black]

Lol at them pretending the Nickal might not get a contract outright.

 

[helax]

What was the point of that

<45>

Dana wants ratings for his show. He will fight in the last contender series event this yr imo

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

He's an immediate person of interest IMO. Middleweight isn't particularly deep.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Bisping trying to downplay Bo Nickal now.

I think he's getting a UFC contract. Why else would they have him headline the card.

Who was the guy in Bo’s corner, looked so familiar? (Not Mike Brown)

Anthony Cassar. Beat Gable Steveson in the NCAA finals.

Just because he might be in the UFC, doesn't mean he'll be pushed too quickly. You can fight a lot of cans in the UFC lol

the UFC was a shark tank. now they just call up some part time fighter from a regional promotion they show on fight pass to give a guy an easy win.

bo nickle being compared to Cain and Bork gimmie a break ping

He's a more decorated wrestler than either of them.

It isn't deep since two guys cleaned the whole thing out. Give him eight more fights. Then he can get the Weidman treatment or something, lol.

bo nickle being compared to Cain and Bork gimmie a break ping

Yeah they were in tgebufc in couple fights. Pretty accurate comparison.

 

[wufabufa]

Wonder who his first ufc opponent will be

I don't see them taking too many chances with him. Gilbert Urbina or AJ Dobson......someone far below the top 50.

I think he's getting a UFC contract. Why else would they have him headline the card.

And they should match him up accordingly regardless.

if you took Gianni's advice tonight you would have got every single bet wrong.

Those are guys who he will beat but he needs experience.

 

[Kalmah]

The UFC isn't going to risk letting this kid get snatched up by Bellator or PFL because they want him to beat another regional bum. You sign him now, it's an investment.

 

[Substance Abuse]

If Dana didn't give Carpenter a deal, I would have been surprised.
