I’m guessing khamzat would have no problems with signing if that fight was given to him tomorrow. Would Nickal do t he same or claim he’s only had 7 pro fights?
This was an enjoyable listen, especially to a rabid Penn State fan like myself. Bo is quite articulate and it’s a bit different from listening to ThugNasty! LOL.
Isn’t this the fight where Nickals and Craig, both ground guys, traded sloppy punches all fight? I knida thought Craig won that.

IIRC, it was pretty even until Nickals got a good crack in and Craig was obviously hurt. But of course, Nickals did shit-all when Craig was retreating.
