Bo Nickal MMA debut ends in brutal fashion after he makes Khabib Nurmagomedov claim

Bo Nickal has announced himself on the big stage. 

The 25-year old kicked off his professional MMA career in real style with a knockout win over John Noland in the very first round.

He needed less than a minute to get the job done, and the way he started, you could sense it was coming. 

He caught his opponent with numerous big shots, before finishing him off and sending him to the canvas.

Now he’s up and running, in the store for him are some cracking contests and no doubt there will be many who would want to have a go at him, given the confidence he has shown in his abilities.

Which was well reflected in his recent chat with GiveMeSport, where he claimed that Khabib Nurmagomedov, possibly the greatest in the game, would not last 30 seconds in a wrestling match with him. 

“To be 100 per cent honest with you, if I were to ever wrestle Khabib, Khabib wouldn’t last more than 30 seconds against me in a wrestling match,” he said.

“Maybe 60 seconds, tops.

“I respect the guy, don’t get me wrong, like he’s tough.

“If he’s not the greatest of all time in MMA, he’s up there. There’s nobody that can have an all-time greats list and not have him on it. 

“But I’m a wrestler. I’ve done this my whole life. He’s done sambo his whole life but it’s a different thing.

“It would be the same as asking me if I could stop Cristiano Ronaldo from scoring.

“That’s kind of my thought process on me wrestling Khabib. Obviously, great at what he’s done, I have so much respect for him, but that’s my world. So he’s not lasting very long.”

We get you, Bo. Khabib stands no chance against you. While we are at it, some words for Conor
