Paul Felder, a UFC analyst, has advised Bo Nickal to fight more aggressively against Reinier de Ridder at UFC Des Moines.
Bo Nickal has encountered many intriguing obstacles in his career thus far. You could counter that he hasn’t faced someone exactly like Reinier de Ridder in mixed martial arts. Given how much Bo has talked about becoming a champion, the former ONE Championship star presents him with a number of intriguing obstacles to try and conquer.
Although Nickal had previously been able to end opponents with his strikes, his amazing wrestling skills are what have made him most famous. Unfortunately, as demonstrated by his victory over Paul Craig, that hasn’t stopped him from attempting to establish his footwork. Many people anticipate the de Ridder fight to be a grapple-heavy event.
Paul Felder, who was previously mentioned, recently expressed his opinion on the matter and outlined his expectations for Nickal on Saturday night.
Nickal is urged by Felder to be more combative
“Both guys have a lot to prove here. I feel like more so on Bo Nickal’s side, believe it or not,” Felder told ESPN. “Because in that Paul Craig fight, he went out there, there was a lot of eyeballs, a lot of hype on this kid, and he just never pulled the trigger. It happens. It’s how you bounce back from that type of performance.
“Granted, got the win, but we want to see more from him. This is a kid we’ve been talking could be a future champion down the line so, you got to go out there, you got to be aggressive. I don’t care if it’s with the striking or the wrestling, but I think he’s really got to commit in this one.”
