The dialogue underscored their uncertainty about Williams’s odds in a fight. But as the conversation went on, another female athlete’s name was offered up for discussion. Nickal revealed, “I feel like there are definitely other girl athletes that could fight”

His co-host then mentioned Brittney Griner, a WNBA player who is known for her imposing physical attributes. Griner was also in the news for her incarceration in Russia in the past. This time, Nickal affirmed that “she could definitely fight,” even equating her to Deontay Wilder and envisioning her knocking opponents out cold like ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is notorious for! He stated, “She could definitely, dude, she’s got freaking crazy reach, she’s like a Deontay Wilder type, knocking chicks out for sure bro.”

The conversation encapsulates the fluctuating perspectives and uncertainties surrounding the idea of athletes from other sports crossing over into MMA. Nevertheless, ahead of his upcoming fight at UFC 300, Bo Nickal has revealed that he has been leveraging AI to help him come up with game plans!

Bo Nickal reveals his ‘AI’ assisted game plan method

UFC middleweight Bo Nickal has taken a futuristic approach to analyze his opponents’ fight patterns by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI)! In a recent conversation with Joe Rogan on the JRE Podcast MMA Show no. 151, Nickal revealed that “I’ll go into Chat GPT, and you have to ask it the right questions, But I’ll say, ‘Hey, formulate a game plan for this type of fighter. I’m a wrestler at middleweight, this that, blah, blah, blah, and I’m going to fight this guy — give me the perfect gameplan for him.”

Acknowledging the nuances of interacting with AI, Nickal compares the process to prodding, gradually refining the AI-generated game plan to align with his requirements. The 27-year-old athlete also revealed that he envisions a future where AI can not only formulate game plans but also analyze video footage to identify opponents’ weaknesses comprehensively!

Looking ahead to his upcoming UFC 300 bout against Cody Brundage, Nickal, undefeated at 5-0, is using both traditional training and AI insights. Nickal’s journey exemplifies the evolving landscape of technology within the realm of mixed martial arts, hinting at a future where fighters may increasingly leverage advanced technologies for strategic advantage in the pursuit of victory.
