Henry Cejudo har valt att ge råd till UFC-löftet Bo Nickal om att ta god tid på sig innan han utmanar toppmellanviktarna.
Henry Cejudo ger råd till Bo Nickal
Även om han bara har 4-0 i MMA-record så är Bo Nickal redan ett fenomen. Den tidigare brottningssensationen har hittills inte haft några problem med övergången mellan sporterna avslutade denna helg Jamie Pickett i första ronden i UFC-debuten.
Det är en bit kvar innan titelmatcherna dock. Nickal har dock varit tydlig med att han siktar på att klättra stadigt i mellanvikten och bli rankad så fort som möjligt.
Den tidigare dubbelmästaren Henry Cejudo anser dock att Nickal borde avancera i ett lugnt tempo.
Cejudo sade följande via sin Youtubekanal:
There’s a huge hype train going around with Bo Nickal. I did see some – obviously, he did win, but I also saw a little difference in the two because he did struggle to get that takedown. MMA wrestling, it is different than NCAA Wrestling. They have to continue to keep building Bo Nickal. If they don’t build Bo Nickal, when they give him somebody tough, Bo Nickal is going to struggle because I saw what I had to see within those first two minutes.”
I was curious to see if he didn’t get the arm triangle, how was it that he was going to come back in that second round because there’s a lot of squeezing, there’s a lot of blood, that you’re constricting through you trying to submit somebody. But other than that, again, I had it first-round submission, it happened. But moving forward, Bo Nickal, I hope you’re listening: You’re gonna need about six fights like this before you start getting up to like the top 10.
Det återstår att se hur det går för Nickal i UFC.
