How does nobody mention the low blow knee before the takedown ?

[AhPhoey]

If I had a nickal for every time someone submitted Jamie Pickett, I'd be a rich man.

[AndreInThe]

This guy could fight next week, stop making them wait so long when he took no damage

[sstech]

Are people gonna ignore he kneed him in the groin ?

[Turkeysandwich]

Yeah let’s all just ignore the blatant illegal strike leading to the takedown.

[VeteranCapybara]

Maybe the route wouldn't been quite so easy if not for the blatant nut shot

[Izzy-zhck]

This guy low blowed a can and got the win.

[sganet_]

Dude couldn’t take down the opponent so he threw a knee in his groin, dirty fighter. Way to start a career as a cheat.

[charlescharlemagne]

It looked like a blatant low blow to me. Surprising the commentators didn't say a word and there was no replay. Regardless, Bo looked very good in there and the fight most likely wouldnt have gone differently.

[natemarx]

Bo 🆚 Khamzat is the fight that 2023 will demand.

[badmanskill]

And that's why they call him Low Bo Nickal! Lows blows to the finish. 👏

[vjr]

Never heard of Sacrificial lamb Jamie Pickett.

[johnpiazzajr.]

Cheater!!!! The fight should not count. The commission needs to do something.

[harritonripata]

If any prospect deserves the limelight as much as this guy its Rakhmonov. I know Shavkat is way passed prospect status and is now contender but he wasn't promoted in the least during fight week. The undefeated streak, the fight IQ and Dog he displayed during the war with Geoff is more appealing to me than a great college wrestler with only 4 fights proclaiming himself to be the next best thing. 🤦‍♂️

B O O O O R I N G, B O O O B O O O B O O O, talk about one dimensional

[tomg]

He's got to work on distinguishing between throwing a knee to the body versus throwing a knee to the groin.

[jaysonj]

Interesting prospect. Hopefully next time out we'll get to see if he has a chin and endurance.

[Adeptus_Santos]

It was mid against a guy like Jamie khamzat would have ended it quicker

[ILoveGaza]

They gave this guy a fighter who has zero wrestling and has been submitted multiple times 🤦‍♀️

[theticoboy]

Says he has been hit in his mma fights yet. We really won’t know how great he is until he gets hit hard on the chin. Looking good so far.
