Bo Nickal has responded to Darren Till after the Liverpudlian called him out.
Bo Nickal has the mixed martial arts community chomping at the bit after successfully capturing a UFC contract on his second stint on Dana White’s Contender Series. The highly skilled wrester mauled Donovan Beard within the first minute, which left UFC president no doubt in handing him a contract.
The 26-year-old has already had his first fight booking announced for his official debut. Nickal will clash with Jamie Pickett at UFC 282 on Dec. 10 in Las Vegas. Despite being a newcomer, Nickal was called out by a top contender in the division.
Darren Till was first to take aim at Nickal with a somewhat mixed reaction following his contender series win.
Darren Till Takes Aim at Bo Nickal
“Bo Nickal is looking good, be good to meet up with him in the future in the octagon. Drive the left hand through his skull…” Till Tweeted.
Nickal seems confused to the call out and believes he would be a stylistic nightmare for the former title challenger.
“Man, Darren, very, very cute,” Nickal responded in an interview with “Thiccc Boy Fight News.” “I guess that’s my first impression: It’s a cute thing of you to say having just gotten absolutely bodied by Derek Brunson – another wrestler, another grappler who’s a tough dude. But I don’t know why you would say something like that, knowing what I can do to you. Hopefully we fight in the future and hopefully you’re ready. Good luck.”
Till hasn’t been in competition since his submission loss to Derek Brunson in September of 2021 and has been forced to withdraw from bouts due to ongoing niggles within his body. That being said, Till is expected to return against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282 in Las Vegas. The same card Nickal is set to fight on.
