MadMardigain 1,636 Report post Posted October 27, 2021 MMA fighters seem to have some of the worse twitter pissing contests. Sounds like Bo’s fine with joining in the fun. 3 wamba, spladle08 and JBluegill133 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingcement 913 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Not a great look for Nickal in my opinion. To each their own I suppose... Maybe he should look into the WWE although I don't think he offers them anything in particular. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhs67 2,099 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 I don't think anything more or less from either. Nickal made two points and Lewis made zero points. If JB wanted to try MMA once he would have by now. -Unless this is a 'new' development for JB, then Nickal is true. -Nobody has stated otherwise, so unless told otherwise by JB or someone who can speak for him, I will accept it as true. Lewis took three years to get two fights in and Nickal took three months to get two fights in. -Nickal has gotten two fights in in three months. -Lewis has gotten two fights in in three years. The only thing that Nickal did wrong was let off the gas pedal. He wasn't wrong. This is MMA. Mouths make money. It is why Downey, IF he actually gets to a fight, will succeed at MMA, providing he doesn't just try to throw hands. 1 dman115 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steamboat_charlie v2 1,174 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Nickal was being a hardo for no reason at all, and was deservedly called out. There are hundreds of wrestlers far more accomplished in MMA than Nickal--not a single one of them voiced an issue with JB's tweet. 1 AMastrandrea reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckFor2 216 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 yes JB did say on Twitter that he'd love 1 MMA fight before he retires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A) He should trash talk an MMA fighter then, not make himself look ridiculous punching way up at a wrestler. B) Downey ain't succeeding in MMA.....

B) Downey ain't succeeding in MMA..... A) JB steered into the MMA wheelhouse. Nickal was merely attempting to help him get back on the correct road. B) I will root for him if he ends up competing. He is a wrestler and while his personality doesn't bode well for us at wrestling, it could carry him far in MMA. Possibly further than he should go. 2 dman115 and flyingcement reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would too, not that I know anything about MMA, the big draw for me is that both guys are really ego/image driven, and one of those stained glass windows is getting broken.

spladle08 1,171 Report post Posted October 29, 2021 Haven't read the whole thread. Is it basically Lewis saying, "I wasn't a very relevant college wrestler, and now I am a less relevant fighter." And Bo saying, "Yeah man we know calm down" (Summary but what I took from the initial exchange) Any Summaries welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But man if Richie Savage is ever an example of "attitude > talent".... Clearly PD3 is the leader, but man.... Anyways Sorry for alcohol induced posting. But I was hoping for more from Lewis. Also I'm glad JB is content with his arena and we don't have to see him get smoked by some mid-tier guy in a different sport.
