Bo Nickal is not holding back! He's calling out Colby Covington for what he sees as a cowardly move, and the MMA world is buzzing.
The Background: Covington, known for his bold statements, initially teased a move to middleweight after a dominant win over Luke Rockhold, a middleweight fighter. Covington felt invincible, claiming, "I have unlimited endurance... I'd have even more of an advantage at Middleweight." But then, a twist...
The Plot Twist: Instead of facing a middleweight, Covington sets his sights on Paddy Pimblett, a lightweight. Covington justifies this by expressing concern for Pimblett's health, stating he's cutting too much weight. But here's where it gets controversial: Covington's inactivity in recent years has some questioning his motives.
Covington seems selective about his fights, waiting for the right opponent or paycheck. He even declared his White House card opponent must be non-American. This conveniently avoids a potential fight with Bo Nickal, who has been eager for a showdown after Covington's trash talk. Nickal, a wrestling champion, believes Covington is scared: "Colby wants to move up, but now he's running away."
The Challenge: Nickal dares Covington to 'man up' and face him at middleweight, a weight class where Covington initially claimed to feel strong. With Nickal's wrestling prowess, Covington might be in for a 'beating.' But will he accept the challenge?
This story has fans divided. Is Covington strategically choosing his fights, or is he avoiding a potential loss? Share your thoughts in the comments: Is Bo Nickal right to call out Colby Covington, or is there more to the story?
