When it comes to wrestling credentials, there are a very select few in the United States that have a better resume than Bo Nickal. The 26-year-old recently made a switch from wrestling to MMA and secured an impressive 33-second knockout on his debut. However, it is not Nickal\u2019s striking that has the MMA world excited about his future in the sport, rather, it is his wrestling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nickal is a three-time Division I NCAA national champion. He is also a three-time big ten conference champion as well. Nickal also tried out for the 2020 Olympic Team as well. Therefore, it is safe to say that he is one of, if not the most accomplished wrestler in MMA at the moment. To add to his impressive list of accolades, the American Top Team prospect also won the Dan Hodge Trophy in 2019. \u2018Funky\u2019 Ben Askren is the only other Hodge Trophy recipient that has gone on to win a world title in MMA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview prior to his MMA debut, Nickal<\/a> stated that \u2018The Eagle\u2019 Khabib Nurmagomedov would not survive 30-seconds with him. He said, <\/span>\u201cTo be 100 per cent honest with you, if I were to ever wrestle Khabib, Khabib wouldn\u2019t last more than 30 seconds against me in a wrestling match. Maybe 60 seconds, tops.I respect the guy, don\u2019t get me wrong, like he\u2019s tough. If he\u2019s not the greatest of all time in MMA, he\u2019s up there. There\u2019s nobody that can have an all-time greats list and not have him on it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Bo Nickal explains his comments made on Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Nickal shared exactly why he thought he would beat Khabib Nurmagomedov in less than 30-seconds. He said,<\/span> “Yeah, I mean a lot of people were like just, like they don’t understand. Like they don’t understand what I’m saying. … I think that more than anything, it’s not really an opinion, it’s a fact. It’s like, what I compared it to was, the guy asked me about beat Khabib in a wrestling match.”<\/span><\/i>
