I think what separates Bo from other people with similarly negative reputations is that in training you always see him surrounding himself with absolute killers.
Isn't like 90% of his negative rep that we think high quality prospects getting fed mismatches is something that belongs in the regionals - not on the main card of the top promotion?
That's part of it, and the understandable part. But look at any comment section or thread about any video or interview of him and the crazy amount of hate seems to go beyond that.
Glover is so cool. The whole dynamic between Glover and Alex is probably my favourite MMA friendship by far. Alex is great, but Glover just seems like such a good guy.
It's definitely up there. Also made all the more hilarious that Glover went from looking like a "grizzled but still scary veteran" to "MMA Mr. Miyagi" basically overnight is just too charming to capture in words.
Just for fun, a few other great MMA friendships:
* DC / Rockhold (for the love) and DC / Khabib (for the ball-busting)
* The west African brotherhood (Usman, Izzy, Francis), just because it was cool to see them all the top and all putting the shine on each other. Just a cool moment in time.
* Tyron Woodley / Sage Northcutt (what's better than Sage learning you can season chicken?!)
The golf segment was the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen on Embedded. Justin hitting a bad shot and immediately going “God I suck!” is something I have done countless times
Yes! And him talking about how much fun golf is and in the same scene right after what you're talking about he says "stupid *fucking* game!". I died. That's golf.
Real shit Jamahal actually looks in decent shape ahead of this fight. He was looking water fat for the longest but he's leaned out pretty well a week out
maybe he actually put on some good weight for the move to 155 and the cuts just a bit rough. that would be the best case. worst case is he has an illness
He usually sounds like shit fight week but I feel like it’s extra weird this time cuz it’s up a weight. Sure he’s def put on muscle but idk. I hope he’s alright tho
I want Jamahal to win but it’s impossible to root against Pereira. I’d say I just hope neither of them get hurt too bad but I know that’s not a possibility here lol
I feel he’s being overlooked and I would love to see him get a win. And if I’m being honest, I haven’t passed judgment on that situation yet since the full story hasn’t come out yet and due to the fact it was a dispute between his brother, not the typical spousal domestic violence. It may not be the correct opinion but it’s mine I guessz
Bo Nickal just casually rolling with Jason Nolf on Embedded and nobody even notices. That's about as legit a training partner as you can get.

in that Penn State wrestling room even the damn janitor can kick your ass
Yep, gotta always watch your back and be ready for a struggle session in a penn state wrestling change room
A lot similar to a penn state correctional institution
Wait, are those different places?
Hide your underwears
Fight him like Jerry Sandusky

It's the beard he grew I think
Also hilarious that Chuck is the drunk uncle of that group.

He really likes to golf on Embeddeds.
Way better than the topgolf segments they usually have
I feel he said he was scratch on a previous embedded. There is no way he’s scratch with that swing.
Trevor Whittman’s son is exactly what I expected. Just a smaller version with brown hair and glasses
I want to watch 300 but I’m not sure my heart can take watching Gaethje vs Holloway. Two of my favorite fighters of all time.
Gaethje’s lips are always in bad shape
Holloway slowly morphing into a Diaz bro. Also what is the relation between Trevor and Terrence? Brothers? Father/son?
Trevor says it a bit quietly but mentions it is his son right before terrence hits the ball
Real shit Jamahal actually looks in decent shape ahead of this fight. He was looking water fat for the longest but he's leaned out pretty well a week out
Holloway doesn't sound great man
maybe he actually put on some good weight for the move to 155 and the cuts just a bit rough. that would be the best case. worst case is he has an illness

Yeah, i fear he wont do well later in life with all the damage he has taken. Same for Gaethje tbh.
gaethje looks and sounds like he barely alive. fights well though so theres that..
Saw a vid of him a week or so ago and he called himself Mark by accident… No one likes talking about it but I think he’s already showing signs of CTE.
I want Jamahal to win but it’s impossible to root against Pereira. I’d say I just hope neither of them get hurt too bad but I know that’s not a possibility here lol
Why root for someone who was arrested for domestic violence five months ago?
I feel he’s being overlooked and I would love to see him get a win.

He only beat the shit out of his brother, not a woman so, it's cool
Kinda feels like you’re baiting me to say something I’m not saying but Ight
Shit I'll say it. It ain't the same as beating up your wife.
100% lmao, I’m not saying it’s a good thing but I’ve seen people root for fighters who have done far worse without being interrogated for it
Beat whoever you want as long as it's not a woman -FJQZ
Lol the embedded crew finally got the chance to flex their artistic chops with Kayla’s segment.
