Bo Nickal vs Paul Craig Prediction: UFC veteran will not hold back the pressure of a powerful opponent

Prediction for the MMA match which will take place on November 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Bo Nickal broke into the UFC last spring, has finished three not-so-top contenders and has already announced that he is capable of beating both Shara Bullet (in 90 secs) and Khamzat Chimaev.

Bo is another prospect who could well become a real star, he has everything to do so. But his tactics so far are predictable - he gets close with his punches and moves, no one can handle his power and aggression yet, we'll see how the more serious opposition look.

We remember Paul Craig forever after he choked out Magomed Ankalaev, who was just making his UFC debut at the last (!) second of the fight (so far it's the Dagestani's only career defeat). This is probably Craig's coolest achievement, although a little later he managed to finish such fighters as Gadzhimurad Antigulov, Jamal Hill, and Nikita Krylov.

We want to say that Paul Craig is not a punching boy at all, and not a written off veteran, as the bookmakers are suggesting. He has suffered four losses in his last five fights, but look who has beaten him - Volkan Ozdemir, Johnny Walker, Brendan Allen, Caio Borrallo.

Bo Nickal has only seen such opposition in his dreams so far.

If this fight had taken place at least three years ago, Paul Craig would have been the favorite. But time does not stand still - the Scotsman has clearly given up due to age, and he's already been beaten up quite a bit. But still it seems wild to us that he is such a huge underdog. Paul is no worse (if not better) than Bo Nickal in the standup, and in the parterre he can always find something interesting and original.
