Pretty much all standing around.. I was hyping him up before the fight to my friends and they all trolled me cuz he didn't do *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*, then acted in his post fight presser like he destroyed the other dude. He also comes across as his own biggest fan and people don't like it. I'll still be rooting for him but I see their point, he sounds like an arrogant douche. 

I was super concerned about that particular matchup.  Craig is known for being very slippery and dangerous on bottom, meaning that Bo was likely going to avoid takedowns unless he was badly losing the standup.  The size difference was also a concern.  Two straight underwhelming performances, both on huge main cards and you can understand why Bo isn't a fan favorite.

Meanwhile, I think he should probably just go full heel, ala "The Rock" when fans didn't buy his good guy persona.  Bo had no problem being a villain in NCAA.

100%...Colby Covington had to make the same decision although I think he took it too far.  For the UFC no one did it better than  Chael Sonnen.  I think Bo has the personality type to fill that role

I honestly don’t think he has the personality to be a good heel …. Similar to like a gable Stevenson…. Super talented athlete but his stage presence is meh.    Can he act like mcgreggor ?   Or sonnen?    I’m not feeling that.

It seems folks find it easy to dislike Bo...

Because it's super easy to dislike him. I am as big a PSU fan as they come and I cannot stand Bo. He is not overrated and sadly I doubt I'll ever get to see someone punch his ***ducking** lights out. ***duck** Bo Nickal.
