Here’s a fiery one, coming straight up from the wrestling community. Because Bo Nickal just seems to have turned his recent UFC loss into a controversial one. The rising star just stepped into the octagon against Reinier de Ridder to win another milestone, but things didn’t take much time to send shockwaves hitting the MMA world. Why? It was Nickal’s first professional loss!

However, this still isn’t the ultimate one. Instead of taking a humble comeback route, Nickal just exploded. And hey, it wasn’t any typical post-fight apology or some strong comeback quotes; rather, the wrestling star just went full firestorm with his words that disheartened not just fans but the entire community.

And the news didn’t take any time to gain traction through a status poster on X. Shared by the MMA Junkie’s official X handle, the post read, “A defiant Bo Nickal won’t let anyone back on the bandwagon once he’s on top. 😤,” with a poster of Nickal’s bold picture displayed with the comments he first made in his personal YouTube video, which later got circulated by Spinnin Backfist and boom – caught the attention of his fans and not just the critics to whom it was directed!

After all, keeping it cool right after the loss, the star just went full beast mode and spoke words that pulled no punches! His message? Completely raw when he said, “All the negative comments, I look at that, and all I say is just like, suck my d—.” Now that’s really very freaky.

Whether it was emotional or personal or just a way to teach the critics a lesson, the fans didn’t approve of it as the right way to do so! Because hey, let’s admit that he was burning the bridges down while daring anybody who doubted his potential. And what did he say? “But when I get back on top and when I’m the freaking champion of the world, they’re all crawling back! And I will spit right in your face. As soon as you crawl back and you know, “Bo, come give me an interview,” blah blah blah,” he continued his aggression and didn’t stop until the message was loud and clear.

Well, for the wrestling community, it’s pretty clear now. The loss didn’t harm their emotions in any way, but what actually did was their idol using such profane words to deliver a message to the critics that is not so human. Well, is it at all the right way to deal with criticisms? While Nickal said, “And that’s how I’ll treat you guys,” here’s how the fans and spectators are treating him over the internet and social media.

Wrestling fans are questioning Bo Nickal’s values and ethics!

Fans backed him once but are now expressing sharp disappointment. And why wouldn’t they when they feel their feelings and image of their icon have just been false ones? “Apparently knees to the gut and chin didn’t humble him. He’s done. Won’t get another top 15 match up. I was rooting for him. But damn. Learn some humility,” and it all started with this one fan highlighting how his recent behavior overshadowed any past admiration. And another one just backed up the previous fans’ words while expressing the same feelings as he wrote, “Doing too much,” pointing out how the wrestling star just crossed the line.

But the sentiment grew even harsher when reactions just continued to pour in. “God wouldn’t approve of this 🤦‍♂️ he’s a 🤡,” another fan remarked, signalling how the message not only felt offensive but morally off-putting too. Meanwhile, another one chimes in and writes, “Junkie noooo! You have a wrestling background! You must like him no matter how big of an arrogant douche he is!!” Reflecting how some fans feel that media outlets are prioritising this hype over some basic principles.

However, the final blow came from this one, who stripped away the drama while admitting, “Just win and shut up is what he needs to do. He will NEVER be able to stand toe to toe with top strikers either. Use what got you here.” Well, whatever happened didn’t just let the fans question his personality and ethics and break the reputation and pride they themselves carried being a Bo Nickal fan!
