UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus Du Plessis admitted he was pleased to witness Bo Nickal`s recent defeat in his fight against Reinier de Ridder.
“I don`t have an issue with all the hype around Nickal,” Du Plessis stated. “But he talked about people who have accomplished things he hasn`t yet. And I really don`t like that. In this sport, you need to be careful what you say.”
Du Plessis continued, “You should speak when you`ve actually achieved something. He was fighting no-names. Humility does amazing things for people, and it seems Bo got a full dose of it. It was enjoyable to watch. Nickal mentally quit.”
As a reminder, Nickal suffered his first professional defeat last weekend at the UFC on ESPN 67 event, losing to Reinier de Ridder by knockout in the second round.
