That overhook combined with an ankle pick was the most slick take down I've seen in my entire life. That was just disgusting.

Man his striking is crisp for a wrestler. Insane

He’s shown great boxing, judo, and BJJ all within a few fights. Not to even mention the wrestling. Dudes a beast.

Wrestling, most underrated sport in HS.

An elite wrestler with knock out power. Very dangerous.

I used to watch hours of his wrestling videos, let me emphasize he made watching wrestling very exciting. So stoked he’s in the UFC.

him and chimaev would be huge

When every second of your professional career makes the highlight real, you know you got a star on your hands.

That overhand to single leg transition was so smooth

What’s crazy is so many people don’t even realize his wrestling background, he’s probably one of the best wrestlers in the nation if not the best. Multiyear national champion for Penn State.

He is so dangerous on the ground that he is catching his opponents in defensive transition with strikes. Kid is a beast....

Top-tier wrestling skill, dangerous hands, naturally athletic, and very high fight IQ.

A knockout and a takedown at the same time!

I used to watch Bo nickal wrestle in college. Ira said to myself this guy goes MMA he's going to dominate

It's that takedown threat that has these guys flustered

This guys the next star. Insanely precise and quick striking from good angles, fast combos, insane wrestling and torque.

Watched all 4 years of Bo during Penn State Wrestling. Awesome to see what an elite wrestler can do in UFC.

Beside his amazing wrestling , look at his punch accuracy , speed and power !! Seems to be a complete fighter , can't wait to see this kid in the octagon

I’m so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to be the scorekeeper for a couple of Bo’s wrestling matches at the Southern Scuffle. He’s going to be be just as dominant in the ufc as he was in NCAA. I’m calling it

This guy is legitimately unstoppable, he's like Cejudo but more charismatic & marketable. Watch Henry's striking before his fight with Reis and afterwards, the progress was almost superhuman. Bo has the same kind of physical gifts. (To be clear, I like Henry alot and think he doesn't get NEARLY the credit he deserves for being an absolute monster in the cage, he just wasn't as marketable as Bo is.)

No one ready for him. He is one of the greatest wrestler of this time. If your gonna beat him you better land a hay maker all I gotta say cause just had the some of the fastest reactions to moving and getting what he wants

A middle weight Mighty Mouse👑

Enters with that left cross so hard it sounded like a bat, somehow at the exact time he connects, he ankle picked the dude and sends him flying backwards, then mounts and transitions to bottom to lock in a triangle choke!? This dude is a freak

This man will b a legend one day

That man is an authentic wild west specimen

For all his wrestling ability he is extremely accurate with his strikes don’t think he missed the whole video defo a future champ

This dude was born for this. I just rewatched his UFC 290 fight and DC mentions Nickal's mom was a boxer and boxing coach.

I been watching this guy wrestle since he was a freshman and god damn I’m so excited he made this transition faster than Burroughs

And his demeanor his attitude even his body language is like : elite athlete. I truly commend this guy and love to watch his fights!

He is a Viking.

Bo Nickal is what Brock Lesnar would be if he were a middleweight. What a wrecking machine. This guy has a bright future ahead of him.

What’s truly terrifying about his credentials and style is displayed at 3:37. You can tell from his earlier pro fights he’s drilled this a lot. Wide stance when striking that also threatens the takedown with feints. If he grabs you, he takes you down; if he feints and you try to defend the takedown dropping your hand, he’ll blast you with his heavy hands; plus he darts in and out constantly almost karate or Taekwondo-esque. Truly a nightmare to fight against.

Bo is such an incredible athlete it's insane

That second win. Oof. Bo Nickal on your back with his arms around your neck that early in the fight... good luck. You can see it in the dude's face after he taps. I don't even know if it was below the chin but it don't matter, the amount of pressure must have been earth shattering for that guy.

If he gets a personality, he's the next big thing. I wish there was a UFC stock market.

Ive never heard of this guy. But im checking him out and i can see his wrestling is top notch. Its crazy how he only requires a small amount of stand up game, and its a surprise to see his stand up game is good too. I have definitely thought wresting is an excellent base for mma before but this guy proves it.

I Love how (in the 2nd match) dude realized (halfway through that sorta flying knee) what he was doing 😂

Bo Nickal has become undoubtedly my favorite wrestler and mma fighter. I could watch this dude dominate for hours

3:21 why is nobody talkin abt that judo throw into a guillotine attempt, shit was awesome

Really good use of level change faints to land strikes and dude carries good power too

What a fighter! Hopefully the next big thing 🙌🏼

Bo's wrestling is something else

That speed!

The real deal. Look forward to watching him succeed.

Awesomeness Bo‼️🤣

His last fight actually made me loose my voice when I seen it live, big hopes for this dude.

Dude is quick AF

If he improves his striking he will be unstoppable

I met Bo when I was a sophomore in high school. He was a kid then, like 7yrs old lol. His dad was the wresting coach, his grandpa (also a great wrestler) was the weights teacher and his mom was the tennis coach. I've been following his career since he was at Penn state and I'm happy for him and how far he's gone. Keep the shit up

That was impressive striking never mind his ground game!

Bo nickel - the real deal and he is going straight to the top in dominat fashion

damn bo you scary fast....well done sir well done

I watched him at Penn state and now he’s grown up. Crazy

Bo’s a fookin beast

I love this dude...

Damn dope!

He is the real deal, he’s about to secure

Never heard of him before. I have now. Holy shit.

He looks VERY good.

Its going to be fun watching him in the UFC

Sick video brother! Keep up the good work 🔥

Future UFC champion, without a doubt!

What’s interesting about BO I think is that regardless of his elite wrestling you can clearly see he’s got heavy hands. His wrestling base will be his foundation and that will translate to him being able to learn more on the ground in terms of BJJ. For a guy who’s been wrestling since early childhood while taught to keep his shoulders off the Mat at all costs…. he sure as hell transitioned to a smooth triangle choke off of his back which was very impressive and promising coming from a life long wrestler like him. He’s got all the tools and if he gets to working with an elite striking coach he could really make some serious noise in the UFC I think. Not to mention that his body type is big and strong with some length too. Solid height with what looks like a good reach arm wise and long legs. I’d get him plenty of Practice and help from top striking coaches. Keep at it overtime so he can Develop some crisp boxing out of that south paw position. To top it off? since he’s not afraid of being taken down? Maybe even a Muay Thai coach. His stance and foot work looks is as if it’s little far back so possibly teach him to rifle some leg or body kicks off that back foot. You already know not many are eager to shoot for a takedown so why not? He’s already showed to have extremely promising and impressive traits right off the bat. Work ethic. Competitiveness. Elite wrestling. Cardio. Experience under pressure. Naturally heavy hands. Bo is the biggest prospect I’ve seen in an absurdly long time. I wouldn’t bet against him for a second. This kid could be special for this sport. He’s a natural.

Wow Nickal 🤩

This guy is fucking insane and easy future world champion FOR SURE

He's gonna be champion

Beast

Nobody understand that Bo Nickal can easily have a title shot already because he is the best in the division

Kid is the future 💥

Most def the future champion of this division💯

Dude is a freakin animal

Imagine going into a fight thinking to defend the shot then wake up with a flashlight in your eyes. 🤣

Boy looks the real deal.

this dude is gonna be the next big thing 100%. wrestling background, excellent bjj and grappling, not to mention his striking game is better then most actually boxers and primary strikers out there. he keeps working at everything and this man is gonna be an absolute monster.

Bo ain't no joke . He will be champ one day . JMO

We need more

insane mentality and discipline

LETS GO BO!!! From Grand junction man ive been watching you sense your first fight! Hands down your my favorite fighter from right down the street!!

He is the real deal

One of the best wrestlers ever at penn state always will be a favorite I wish more people actually knew his background his wrestling career at psu so glad I seen him wrestle multiple times!

He's the real @#$&@#$ deal. Future champ, no doubt

bro knocked him off his feet with a punch

A proper fighter

Bros a straight animal

Excellent video

The problem with Bo Nickal is that he finishes evrybody so fast i just want a fight 😂

Good hand speed and punching power for a wrestler. Usually, they are weak at boxing.

This dude is dangerous.

Savage of a human in fighting he can tap into his rage intelligently

All I can say is Bo is absolutely amazing in that cage go Bo go ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lead uppercut I’m killing this dude

Bo is the real deal

His accuracy is incredible

His mom has also been a boxing coach for years. That's why his hands look like that already

he's been wrestling more than he's able to read. I don't think no one in MW can defend a takedown against him. I wanna see him fight with Khamzat and Izzy

Guaranteed to be a champ

Bi Nichols can bang and wrestle very explosive at both. I love this style

Holy shit!

Never saw explosive takedowns like that.. GSP lookn slow in compare, but now he is young and fresh..So we will see

That ankle pick set up was amazing.. I’m already use it it lol
