There's only so many times I can hate on Kyle Daukaus and be wrong before I have to start respecting him and picking him to win. The good news is, that time is not now. Kyle's recent UFC success is a bit fraudulent. He beat an uninspired mid divorce Michel Pereira and then the most beatable guy in the division in Gerald Mearschaert. Kyle is long, awkward and has solid BJJ, but I don't think it matters. i think Bo comes forward strikes longer than we think he will, but ultimately get it to the ground. Kyle is not RDR and doesn't have those giant knees up the middle. We have I do think Bo gets a pretty comfortable win, I am just not sure yet if its a coasting decision with his new haircut or if he can find a finish. For the superstitious people, Bo did quote tweeted Jacob and green lined himself, so that may be some sort of jinx.

Bo Nickal

Bo Nickal is a big time wrestling standout who has multiple D1 national championships as well as world champion medals. He is obviously an incredible wrestler who has transitioned to MMA and taken those skills with him. His style is pretty obvious. He is early in his MMA career and is continuing to evolve, but he is always looking to come forward and get takedowns. He is beginning to trust his hands more which we saw in his fight with Paul Craig and most recently in the head kick knockout over Rodolfo Vieira.

Kyle Daukaus

Kyle Daukas was a UFC staple from 2019 to 2022 before being relegated down to the regional scene. But a few years and a couple of wins later, he worked his way back and is now on a 2 fight win streak in the big show. Style wise he is an ok striker and a very good grappler with solid clinchwork and ok boxing. While he is primarily a grappler, he only has a 25% takedown accuracy but an impressive 82% defense. He is very long and can use that well, but is chinny. He is coming off his 4th finish win in a row, this time over the very finish able Gerald Meerschaert.
