Nickals Next: Tresean Gore Reveals Offer

https://www.mmanews.com/news/bo-nickal-next-possible-opponent-revealed

Another middleweight has called out Bo Nickal following the highly-touted UFC prospectā€™s recent debut win - and claims that heā€™s in line to fight him next.

Nickal passed his first UFC test with flying colors by submitting Jamie Pickett at UFC 285. He remains unbeaten in his professional MMA career after an illustrious run in collegiate wrestling at Penn State.

Nickal has big ambitions for his UFC career, including a possible future matchup with UFC star Khamzat Chimaev. But, heā€™ll need to work his way up the middleweight ladder before realistically earning a shot against the 185lb elite.
In the meantime, Nickal has a slew of fellow middleweight prospects willing to challenge him in the Octagon. One of them, a former standout on The Ultimate Fighter, recently claimed that the UFC offered him a fight later this year with Nickal.

Tresean Gore Reveals Offer To Face Bo Nickal Next

In a recent Instagram post, The Ultimate Fighter 29 finalist Tresean Gore said a matchup with Nickal is allegedly in the works.
ā€œThe [UFC] let me know about 4 or 5 days ago about this potential match up and Iā€™m all in and agreed the moment the opportunity was offered to me!ā€ Gore posted. ā€œIā€™ve been waiting patiently on my return we both received each others name and thatā€™s that!

UFC is racist trying to only match Bo up with under-skilled black men to embarrass them.

For shame.

Letā€™s get him Usman or Leon.

So now its possible its gonna beā€¦

Jones vs Stipe
Volk vs Yair
Tony vs Lee
Bo vs Gore

Iā€™d like to see them book 18-20 fights, do their biggest card ever, something new and different. Its only a bonus for ESPN+, UFC is the best thing they got going.

They have already run 16 fightsā€¦just go a little further. Let Jim Miller or someone open the show. Do a couple legends fights to kick things off. What would it hurt?

My sleep :rofl:

They already struggle getting 5 PPV fights done before 2am EST.

Yeah Iā€™m not saying start the PPV later or add more fights to the PPV.

Iā€™m saying I think there is a market for the biggest card of the year being 18 to 20 fights and starting the early prelims earlier so the event ends at 1 am like normal.

I think there is also a market for Friday night Fight Nights with interesting up and coming fighters and washed up legends to compete the night before the bigger PPV cards of the year.

Wrestlemania I was nine matches.

Wrestlemania 38 (2022) was two nights, drew 78k fans each night. The first night had 7 matches and the 2nd night had 9 matches.

UFC has done Thrs TUF shows followed by Fri Fight Nights and Sat PPVā€™s in the past. I know at least once. A couple other times they did back to back Fri/Sat cards.

I think there is the market for thatā€¦especially a once or twice a year around their biggest events of the year.

Lol I was going to mention Wrestlemania with your idea since I heard they split to 2 nights.

They could do similar. But would have to be free one night I guess, but 2 PPV worthy cards would be amazing. Maybe a one price reasonable charge.

there are some decent matches for Bo/Khamzat in this division
Bo should be bumped up pretty quick if he wins easily again

Not sure why they would make this fight, Gore is 1-2 in the UFC. I get building Nickals up but how about someone who has some wins?

Its a good fight for Bo who is only 4-0. He said himself, he wants to be like 10-0 or 12-0 before his title shot.

Seems very analytical and grounded about it all.
