Ahead of his incoming UFC 281 headliner tonight at Madison Square Garden, undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya maintains emerging prospect, Bo Nickal will struggle to submit him as predicted in a potential future fight, pointing to his lack of experience in mixed martial arts competition.
Making his third Octagon appearance this year, Adesanya takes curtain closing honors at UFC 281 in the ‘Big Apple’ – clashing with division challenger and former kickboxing rival, Alex Pereira – attempting to avenge a pair of losses to the Brazilian challenger.
As for Nickal, the decorated amateur wrestler earned his UFC contract off the back of a double appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series – most recently submitting Donovan Beard with a first minute armbar.
Off the back of his win, Nickal, who was expected to make his Octagon debut at UFC 282 next month against Jamie Pickett, saw the bout cancelled after he suffered an undisclosed injury.
The Colorado native has been linked with a potential future fight against both Adesanya, and the undefeated welterweight finisher, Khamzat Chimaev since his signature to the promotion, predicting a submission win over the middleweight kingpin in the process.
Taking umbrage with Nickal’s bold statement and prediction, Adesanya reminded the youngster that despite his wrestling expertise, the sport they compete in is mixed martial arts.
“Okay – everyone has an opinion, so he (Bo Nickal) has a right to his opinion,” Israel Adesanya said during an interview on Morning Kombat.
Adesanya’s main qualms with Nickal’s comments and statement, come from the fact that many speculate how good his wrestling defense actually is, given the fact many contenders have rarely attempted to take down the Nigerian-Kiwi.
“…Nobody has ever tried to take me down and submit me,” Israel Adesanya continued. “I think everyone is just – I could say whatever I want to say about him as well. I actually gave him props like, he’s doing what he’s doing. But, I’d like to see more. He’s only just got here [to the UFC], and I know he’s a decorated wrestler but this is not wrestling, this is MMA. There’s way to exploit wrestlers in MMA.”
Ahead of tonight’s pivotal lightweight clash between former interim division champion, Dustin Poirier, and one-time vacant title challenger, Michael Chandler – the former has claimed that if the latter enters exchanges recklessly akin to his performance against common-foe, Justin Gaethje, he’ll handily “clean him [Chandler] up”.

Ahead of tonight’s pivotal lightweight clash between former interim division champion, Dustin Poirier, and one-time vacant title challenger, Michael Chandler – the former has claimed that if the latter enters exchanges recklessly akin to his performance against common-foe, Justin Gaethje, he’ll handily “clean him [Chandler] up”.
Featuring on the main card of tonight’s UFC 281 pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden, Poirier, the current #2 ranked lightweight contender, will return to the Octagon for the first time since suffering a third round standing rear-naked choke loss to former champion, Charles Oliveira back in December of last year.
As for Missouri native, Chandler the former three-time Bellator MMA titleholder returned to winner’s enclosure with a staggering second round front kick KO over another former interim champion, Tony Ferguson back in May of this year.
Turning in the consensus Fight of the Year at Madison Square Garden last year in his title-eliminator against the aforenoted, Gaethje, Chandler suffered a unanimous decision loss to the Arizona native. And according to Poirier, if Chandler chooses to enter tonight’s fight with reckless abandon, he will stop him.
“If he (Michael Chandler) fights me like he fought Justin Gaethje, I’ll clean him up,” Dustin Poirier told Daniel Cormier on the UFC 281 Weigh-In Show. “I’m going back to Lafayette. Tune in – a few exchanges (is all Chandler will last). If he comes out there with a tough guy mindset, let’s his nuts hang, hands down – ‘I’m gonna out-tough you,’ I’m gonna clean him up. I promise you.”
“If he doesn’t wrestle, if he just kickboxes with me, he’s got to be cleaner than he was when he did it with (Justin) Gaethje,” Dustin Poirier continued.
In his most recent professional victory, American Top Team mainstay, Poirier managed to secure a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO win against former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor at UFC 264 in July of last year.
