I'm not an Iowa fan and I'm happy Bo lost. I've been watching his youtube channel a lot lately and Bo is insufferable. He's got a tremendously inflated ego. In the latest video I watched he was saying he doesn't plan on using wrestling much in the future because he thinks he's a better striker. Ugh. Yeah, Bo needs to get beaten up a few more times.

He could be said to be one of the best folkstyle wrestlers in US history though.

Zahid would tech Bo at this point.

Yes; he has, and they are betting that he'll continue to do that. It's actually very simple. I think he'll continue to flip flop though, be unpredictable, and cause a wide variety of economic problems.

You got me to thinking about swimmers in wrestling. Strength/endurance of swimmers should be exceptional. Can you imagine this guy at 197 pounds? He's skinner than Hamiti!

Yeah UFC fighters cut a ton of weight since they weigh in a day before the fight. Gives them plenty of time to hydrate and get their energy back. I would estimate that most 185lb fighters cut around 25lbs the week of the fight. 185lb champ, Dricus Du Plessis, walks around 230lbs outside of training camp.

Ok.

It's more likely that they are just rude. Iowans have never been accused of being nice people. I can't blame them, they live in Iowa.

I figured. Which is why the OP put it on this board. Is he a former wrestler or a COLLEGE WRESTLER?

There is one. It’s not getting a ton of traffic.

I didn't even reply to you or say a word to you, but if you're granted a Student Visa, you're allowed all the protections that come with the 1st amendment. That includes being able to protest. I can't possibly see how we'd have issues with behaving in what you deem to be a "certain way." This was actually because of the stupid posts about how I WASN'T actually responding to this post, but as long as I am, it's certainly in conflict with your belief that you're well informed.

Why? People are talking about it here. He's a former Wrestler. I haven't glanced at the MMA board in a....long time.

Stop watching the MSM and look at what is happening. Ono is fine, and so is anyone who respects the law.

Uh, just because I was explaining current policy doesn't mean that I am not well-informed. In fact, I would say that it makes me better informed than you. You don't have to agree with the policy to admit it exists. First of all, I'm all for protest. I'm just saying "that's the way it is at the moment." But I'm also not opposed to asking guests to behave in a certain way.

She really needs to step up her game.

Maybe the amount he’s saying he cut was staged. It’d just be surprising to me if he’s considered “small” for 185. But maybe the other guys are just cutting a ton.

Also the other guy did wear an Iowa shirt, that probably caused some of their fans to also root “for” him and not just against Bo

This thread could go on the MMA board no?

Have you seen his last few fights? He is a bit on the short size and doesn't have the reach compared to many top 185. meanwhile the top guys also seem to also be more muscular in addition to the height and reach. When he was trying to wrestle 97 kg in Europe back in '21, he only weighed something like 208. That is with him trying to gain.

No one believes he cut what he said he cut. That looked staged and half the internet was saying that even pre fight. With that said he does look to be the smaller fighter all of his last 3 fights and this one pretty noticeably. I don’t think he can make 170 though. That seems crazy.

Yeah, because someone wrote something as stupid as 'as long as he doesn't protest.' That's where we are. The well informed electorate. 'He can be here... long as he doesn't say anything but good things about this country.' That doesn't sound authoritarian at all!

He wrestled 197 6 years ago, you really think he’s one of the smaller 185’s?

Who's#3 on the national team for 57 and 61 I thought WTT would qualify the third spot?

What would be a better weight for him? 170? Because he is one of the smaller 185s in UFC. (And he did not lose 30+ lbs this week) (Based on eye test, height, and reach)

Aaron actually recently signed with the UFC other than dislocating his shoulder against Jeremey Kennedy he has been on a tear, and I think he has a good shot of winning a belt. He is truly a complete fighter just may have chin issues and sort of got throw to the wolves when he was too green. My gauge on Bo which could probably be completely off base is that he is not pushing himself in training. He spends most of his time in happy valley likely training with the same guys that probably are not as good as him and then does the last few weeks of camp in florida which at that point I doubt they are giving him guys that can beat him so that his confidence is not shot. I know he trains with Johnny eblen which is great but thats a style that is probably fairly comfortable for him and who's to say how hard Eblen goes. As for RDR he held two belts in one for a reason he is very good and had a great gameplan he was constantly moving forward and throwing knees up the middle which probably made Bo apprehensive about lowering his level. The two most concerning things were seeing Bo get stuck underneath and have terrible body language to getting hit. You can be as good as you want but if you can't take getting hit you are not going to make it very far.
