Like everybody else, Bo Nickal was impressed by Shara “Bullet” Magomedov’s wild spinning double backfist knockout win at UFC 308. However don’t get it twisted: that doesn’t imply Bo believes Shara is legit competitors.
Nickal is about to return to motion for the second time this yr towards Paul Craig at UFC 309. Oddsmakers have him a wild -1000 favourite to beat “The Bearjew,” which is down a complete lot from the -3800 he was in his final struggle towards Cody Brundage. We’d argue that odds like that show Nickal enjoys a few of that candy Dana White privilege, although the large boss denies it.
In keeping with Nickal, it’s really Shara “Bullet” who’s being protected.
“The Russian Pirate? Loopy, bro,” he stated in a brand new video on his YouTube channel. “Yeah, that was insane. Who does double spinning backfists? And you understand what was loopy? He was hitting it on the pads earlier than the struggle. There’s clips of him hitting it.”
“It’s like, I wish to struggle him however it’s not a troublesome struggle,” Nickal added. “And I’d need to go to Abu Dhabi. Or I’d need to go to Saudi [Arabia]. Which I’d do however … not a troublesome struggle, so the UFC in all probability doesn’t need that proper now. I dunno, possibly they’d. Possibly they don’t give a crap. Go over to Saudi, make a fast verify. 90 seconds, name it a day, fly again.”
“I simply suppose they’re going to maintain placing him towards strikers, however we’ll see.”
It’s true that the UFC hasn’t put “Bullet” towards a Caucausus or U.S. State wrestling champ, however then once more he’s fought 4 instances since arriving within the UFC final October. Nickal has fought as soon as in that point, and for all his discuss of exhibiting different fighters wassup, he hasn’t really adopted via on any of his callouts.
In much less bombastic moments he’s admitted he’s completely glad letting the UFC rigorously usher his profession ahead, which up to now has meant two squash matches a yr towards outmatched competitors. In some unspecified time in the future the coaching wheels will come off they usually’ll really take a look at him correctly … however it’s not taking place this yr.
