A former UFC star recently sounded off on Bo Nickal following his performance at UFC 309 last Saturday. The highly touted middleweight remained unbeaten after earning a unanimous decision win over Paul Craig, however, there were many in the MMA community who criticized his performance.
The fans in attendance at Madison Square Garden also weren't too impressed with the 29-year-old and could clearly be heard chanting, 'Overrated', toward him. Nickal refrained from shooting for any takedowns and kept the fight standing, which wasn't well received as he was a decorated amateur wrestler and didn't use that to his advantage.
Among those who weren't impressed with the three-time NCAA Div I National wrestling champion was former UFC star Darren Till as he blasted him on his X account. The Englishman has transitioned into boxing as of late, but continues to keep a close eye on MMA and shares his thoughts.
Till mentioned that he has taken an issue with Nickal for diminishing his tenure with the promotion and even claiming he'd fare well against Khamzat Chimaev:

"Guy has talked so much sh*t. Sh*t talked me since he came [to] the UFC like I haven't fought and beat top guys in there. Be more humble ya ginger tool cause you're sh*t and Khamzat would destroy you."
