Phil looked good against Magney. He’s a solid black belt but obviously this is a pretty clear win for Nicky. Good exposure for Philly Fresh though, hope he gets paid for it.

Gotta love & respect Phil’s spirit. He grappled Gordon when most high level grapplers were turning it down. The scariest person in the world to grapple is Nicky, asking for that match takes some balls

What makes you say he is the scariest? He is solid as fuck but I wouldn’t worry about drawing him as much as Craig Jones or Rousimar back in day. I’m not as up to speed on grappling as I used to be so that is why I ask.

He’s so huge and athletic. He’s really hard to take down or sweep.
He’s not as good as Craig but I think he’s scarier. The way he broke Gordon’s foot was pretty wild.
I’ve rolled with both of them (not in comp) and I’d much rather lose to Craig than Nicky. He’s literally both the fastest and strongest guy I’ve ever rolled with.
Palhares in his prime was scarier.
But it’s just such a tough match to win. Plus his shit talk. Plus his strength/size/speed… I think it makes him the scariest match for most high level black belts
