Bo Nickal has revealed he 'stuffed' a takedown attempt from Jon Jones when the pair crossed paths ahead of their UFC fights this Saturday.
Nickal, 27, makes his highly-anticipated UFC debut on the undercard of Jones' heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane in Las Vegas. Wrestling standout Nickal is one of the hottest prospects in the sport and has an unbeaten record of 3-0, whilst Jones hasn't fought in three years but looks to become one of the few two-weight champions in UFC history by beating Gane for the vacant belt.
Jones and Nickal met each other whilst completing media obligations for their respective fights and had a brief wrestling encounter, both giving different sides of the story. Nickal was complimentary of the Jones' grip in their light-hearted exchange, but warned the UFC legend of the advantage he had despite being several weight classes lighter than him.
