Bo wanted to build up his record before fighting ranked fighters and I think that's the smartest move for him

I think last minute swap from Hooker to Gamrot could be one of the worst opponent changes stylistically you could have. Turner is dangerous with his takedowns but the grappling pressure of Gamrot and the ability to scramble and maintain top position will wear on Turner. The first round will be scary but taking Gamrot by UD

An arm triangle can be finished from mount or side control.

The way I brought him to the ground was good, the transition to bad control was masterful, but I think he focused that if instead of using brute force he had prioritized the correct technique he would have finished the arm-triangle choke faster and easier . The happiest were the bettors on Nickal by SUB: easily while doing that long shoulder choke Bo was able to switch to the full mount position and finish the fight by ground and pound in short time.

I only bet the FGTD in this next one (bc of line) to leave potential livebets open. Really hard fight for me to pick.

I think Bo Nickal might be a real prospect, UFC should promote him instead of the clowns O’Malley and Pimblett

I wish oddsbot could at least sc**** method of victory to make its pick bragging more accurate.

I picked Turner 2nd round KO but I guess it locked my Gamrot DEC pick in.

Mav58 Sounds about right. Jamie mainly made it to the UFC with hard work and punching power, but he's really not that talented. Unfortunately for him. I am glad for him that he got this opportunity, since I'm pretty sure the UFC paid him well for this one. It's better to lose against a Bo Nickal and getting paid, then losing to any other unranked fighter

After see the fight: It's good that they want to take Bo Nickal faster than other projects (Since he has a great background and his momentum is not based on popularity alone). But I think the Matchmakers should let him work a little more on his technique and not give him a Top 10 in his third fight like Poatan.
