He would have fought wherever they wanted him to. I think it's a great push for Bo that shows his pulling power. And don't mistake it. He has massive pulling power. This card is completely stacked so to end the prelim with a former champ fight is actually pretty smart to keep eyes on the prelim as well. I think they built this card perfectly, and its no disrespect to Jiri or Figgy or Garbrant and whoever else is on the prelim who's a former champ.

Card placement was strategic to pull ratings throughout

Am I the only person who likes having Bo on the main card?

"Alright babe, I'll start wearing headgear."

There is few things in UFC that make argument for it not being a real sport and the way they promote and treat Bo over (in my opinion) more deserving fighters is one of them.

Bo has fast tracked so much in the ufc because he already is a very skilled and experienced wrestler that could most definitely mop the floor with even the best in the UFC. This guy has been wrestling his whole life….i see this comparable to Michael Chandler entering the ufc from bellator. The fact is and most people don’t think of is that Bo can already beat anyone in his division.

If you truly understood what Bo is about to do in ufc you would understand the card placement is just right

The kid just started MMA a few years ago. The UFC isn’t going to rush him to fight a high ranked guy and risk him losing before he learns the necessary standup skills to succeed. If Bo does get another first round finish, then his next guy should be right outside of the top 15. Let’s see how he does against another wrestler first. What if he can’t take Cody down? How will he handle that? Has his standup evolved enough if he can’t get a takedown against another wrestler? Oh and another thing, let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit for the first time and rocked for the first time before he goes and fights a guy like Johnny Eblen, or Jack Hermanson, guys in the higher end of the top 10.

Everyone mad at Bo for being on the PPV like he chose it 😂

I really like Bo but placing him on the ppv card not so much. I would have been okay with him closing out the prelims. I think the ufc is doing Bo and the fans a disservice. But hey what can you do. The card is still amazing. Let's go Bo!!!!

I've seen nobody who agrees with Bo about the Burroughs situation😬😬

LETS GO BO!!

If the UFC didn't get behind him and he just went out and fought, all the comments would be shit like..feed em to bo. And what an amazing prospect he is. The fact he's white and got the UFC bumb makes a lot of insecure grown men say he's a hype job.

Bo Nickal is the next super star for the UFC

Wish they gave him Shavkat.

It's not his fault. And at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter where his fight is placed.

I’m not against him being on the main card to push his career. Does he deserve it over former champs? Maybe not but hey he’s clearly very talented why not give him a big push. But why against Cody Brundage?

I actually like Bo. He's a very talented fighter. Not sure why ppl like this guy so much

Bo is not a hype but too legit. I don't think anyone is gonna stop his trajectory for now.

Brock Lesnar was in a UFC main event in his 2nd mma fight and Bo is a more accomplished wrestler. Brock won the title in his 2nd UFC fight. Bo has won 3 times that number of fights in the UFC and destroyed all his competition. So take it easy y’all. He may prove to not be ready but the great thing about this sport is we are going to find out in a couple days, regardless of what casual fans think.
