Bo Nickal enters this match boasting a record of 4-0-0, standing 6′ 1″ and weighing in at 185 lbs, boasting physical attributes which give him a distinct edge in middleweight division fights, such as his height standing at 6′ 1″ and reach 76″. These factors allow him to maintain distance effectively while striking effectively during his matches.
As part of Nickal’s offensive abilities, his striking game stands out. Even with only 1.67 significant strikes per minute being landed per minute, his exceptional accuracy rate of 57% speaks volumes about his precision and ability to land impactful strikes with precision and timing. Each strike from him counts, and defensive skills also stand out; a 66% striking defense rate testifies.
Nickal is unrivaled when it comes to grappling and ground game skills. With an average takedown average of 12.50 per 15 minutes and a takedown accuracy of 57%, his ability to control fights on the ground is evident. Once on top of them, Nickal becomes a threat with 15.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes; his transition between positions seamlessly while applying submissions makes him an unparalleled force within the grappling realm.
Tresean “Mr. Vicious” Gore enters the octagon with a respectable 5-2-0 record. At 6′ 0″ and 185 lbs, Gore matches Nickal in weight but is shorter in height and reach, measuring 75 inches, respectively. However, Gore compensates for these physical differences through his signature switch stance, which allows him to mislead opponents while diversifying his striking angles.
Gore’s offensive capabilities primarily lie in his striking game, as he averages 3.04 significant strikes per minute. While this output is higher than Nickal’s 53% accuracy rate suggests he may land with less precision. Furthermore, Gore may present vulnerabilities to opponents as his defense absorbs 6.13 significant strikes per minute, offering potential vulnerabilities to potential strikes from his opponents.
Gore’s takedown defense of 81% shows his ability to defend against takedown attempts, potentially creating difficulty for Nickal. However, Gore’s average of 3.04 takes 15 minutes, which falls significantly short of Nickal’s numbers, suggesting he may need help to effectively implement his grappling game against Nickal’s superior takedown skills.
