Bo Nickal explains why Dricus du Plessis won't be able to game-plan for Khamzat Chimaev

Image
  Bo Nickal recently opened up on the possibility of Dricus cu Plessis coming up with a game plan to counter Khamzat Chimaev's wrestling. Nickal also rated his wrestling pedigree close to Chimaev. Du Plessis has earned victories over a few UFC fighters with a good ground game, including Derek Brunson. The reigning middleweight champ also boasts a couple of submission victories in the UFC on account of his commendable ground game. However, cu Plessis's general approach to a fight indicates that he prefers a stand-and-strike style fight over a wrestling-heavy one. On the contrary, du Plessis' upcoming rival, Chimaev, has shot for takedowns in the first rounds of the majority of his UFC encounters. After several previous instances, 'Borz' proved his wrestling pedigree again at UFC 308 with a dominant victory over Robert Whittaker in the first round. Nickal recently weighed in on the du Plessis vs. Chimaev fight in one of his recent interviews with Home Of Fight. Afte...

Khabib Nurmagomedov Names Tougher Opponent for Makhachev Than Topuria

Topuria vacated his featherweight belt on the UFC's promise of a title fight. After some deliberation from Team Makhachev, it would seem a deal is being finalized, with Topuria announcing his camp has begun. Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Arman Tsarukyan is a tougher challenge for Islam Makhachev than Ilia Topuria. "My personal opinion—it’s not that [Topuria] is dangerous, let’s just say Tsarukyan is more competitive. I think Arman is a tougher fighter than Topuria. Topuria’s a good fighter at 66 kg, but we’ve never seen him at 70. I believe Arman poses a bigger challenge for Islam than Topuria. I don’t know what kind of deal Topuria has with the UFC. But from Islam’s perspective, he’s already given chances to two 66-kg champions—and beat both. Now giving a third one… Let’s say Topuria moves up and gets an immediate title shot. Islam beats him. Then Topuria fights once more and loses again. So he’d have never been anyone at 70 kg, and Islam would...

Jon Jones breaks his silence with two word statement after Alex Pereira loses at UFC 313

Image
Jon Jones has come out of the woodwork to ‘flex’ on his opposition, after Alex Pereira failed his fourth light heavyweight title defense against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313. Jones was one of several names Pereira considered had he defeated Ankalaev, and now it looks like that fight is far from possible. ‘Poatan’ suffered a lackluster decision loss to ‘Big Ank,’ and with it, any momentum that would have secured him a UFC super fight. ‘Bones’ is primed to defend his heavyweight strap against rightful challenger Tom Aspinall. But before he does that, he wants to gloat about his accomplishments in the UFC. ‘Small flex’ … Jon Jones boasts about title defense record after Alex Pereira loses title On Instagram on March 10, Jones shared an image reading, “More title defences than every other current male champion combined” with a picture of himself roaring inside the Octagon. In his caption, Jones inserted a shrugging emoji and followed up with a comment, saying, “Small flex.” Jon Jones share...
