Bo Nickal mentions the three weaknesses he sees in Reinier de Ridder
Bo Nickal has an enormous amount of respect for the Skill Set Reinier de Ridder will bring to the table later tonight.
However, the undefeated hunter has not been removed from claiming that his rival has weaknesses across the board.
During UFC des Moines Media Day, the 29-year-old explained: “He is very creative on the floor, so that is something I see at high level skills. He also has a Judo Black, so he is a man who uses that to his benefit and can throw people.
“Then I look at his striking, and I think he has a really good shot, the right hand is pretty solid. But I think he makes many mistakes in all areas at the same time.
“On the ground, in the clinch, on the feet, and so that is something I will look to exploit. And I feel that with the game plan that my team and I have set that I can do that.”
