I'd much rather see Bo Nickal making his PPV debut first fight on the card against somebody that needs to be cut.

Imagine a UFC Fight Night card or PPV in Philadelphia...

Bo would sell hella tickets, Penn State is a VERY VERY loyal wrestling fanbase.

I dont think any other promotion gets Bo regardless because he seems dead set on being ufc champ because as a competitor he understands thats where the best fighters are.

Yes but someone would always offer a lot of money. Pfl would gladly offer him a million bucks per fight I guarantee it; they did it with Kayla

PFL would destroy the budget and go bankrupt probably to get Bo Nickal

@crimson exactly, not worth losing the most hyped prospect in mma. It’s better to have him locked down. This way, they can give him a regional can and not risk getting ko’ed in his ufc debut (unlikely but still)

There's a decent Philly roster forming in the UFC. They could put together a fun card. Sean Brady, the Daukaus', Pat Sabatini, Bill Algeo. Make sure Felder is in the booth and doing post fight.

I was impressed with Clayton. It was not a flawless performance by any means, and he faced diversity for the first time in his career which is good; also, Chairez really impressed me so this was also a good win. He’s young, has been basically bred for mma (much like mokaev) and has a good skill set. He’s green, but the potential is definitely there. Flyweight has enough cans that they can build him up. I think he has top 15 potential. Again, he’s green and made mistakes, but he was also fighting a guy who looked impressive  

Erik Silva is an interesting case. That fight was going one of two ways; either Anvar highlight reel ko’ed him or he took him down and smashed him. I expected Anvar to be clueless on the ground but that was pathetic; he looked like an amatuer. Deserved contract for sure but I really have no idea what to expect with Silva. He’s 35 going on 36 so he’s going to have to be rushed if they ever expect him to do anything in the ufc. He seems to have a good skillset tho. No idea what to expect really 

Pouges is another signing I don’t know how to feel about. He won comfortably and has a well rounded skillset. 205 is also a thin division so I’m happy he at least got signed because now they have an extra body. I’m gonna cut him some slack because he’s not a heavyweight. He was lazy af in that fight I hope he doesn’t fight that way in the ufc because he’s not gonna win like that; well, he can probably beat a can like poteria but not somebody who knows how to win fights. I’m not really sure what his potential is either; he could be a solid gatekeeper but I’m not seeing top 15 potential at the moment. 

I actually don’t mind Bo fighting again on dwcs. This way, he is gonna be making a quick turnaround, and gets more experience. I’m positive he could **** up many people in the ufc right now but it’s better not to risk it with someone who has the potential he does. He’s gonna be in the ufc regardless so it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. He has superstar potential; he’s atheltic as ****, has powerful striking, and he just used his wrestling for the first time in his career and it looked as dominant and high level as we all expected. I was very impressed with how he used that front headlock to control the entire fight.

Reason Bo Nickal wasn’t signed

Predictions: 4 of 5 Winners, 2 Perfect, 250 Points   |   Tied for 549th

I knew no matter what Bo nickal did tonight that he was either getting a developmental deal or another contender series fight because the UFC have a thing where unless your incredibly impressive they won’t sign you with less than 3 pro fights unless your Cedric doumbe who has such great credentials and have only done it because of the success of Pereira and Danyelle Wolff but that’s just women’s featherweight. It just seems other than these 2 you won’t see them touch anyone with less than 3 pro fights even for the Ultimate Fighter. Guys like Greg hardy needed 3 pro fights before getting into the ufc and it just seem once a fighter hits 3 pro fights the Ufc will take them because they believe they have enough experience for the Ufc

Clayton in his post fight interview says he wants to fight at MSG.


Quick turn around? I'm with it, heal up and make that splash in MSG for his debut in November.
