Bo Nickal

Picked with real hedging -- the analyst says he could easily be swayed the other way and wouldn't be surprised by a counter knockout or submission, but ultimately expects the takedown threat to decide where the fight happens.

Decent power on the feet, with a real, notable weapon in the overhand set up specifically by the takedown threat -- opponents dropping their hands to stop a shot walk into it. Genuinely open to counters and has looked rough in pure boxing exchanges in the pocket so far, though a recent head kick suggests real improvement. The clear strength is the wrestling: takedowns are a big enough factor that he ends up dictating where the fight goes, with very good entries including faints that freeze opponents in place. Good control once the fight is on the mat, still developing his takedowns specifically against the cage (a known past weak spot he's working on), very good open-mat takedowns, a growing submission arsenal from ongoing grappling competition, and good takedown defense.
