5 Fighters Who Never Lived Up to Their Hype

The Bo Nickal hype train is well and truly underway after his extremely impressive performance at UFC 290. It’s clear that the promotion backs him heavily and sees him as a potential superstar of the future and rightly so. Young and talented, Nickal has the world at his feet and the sky is his limit. He will be hoping to join the likes of Conor McGregor, Francis Ngannou and Israel Adesanya who all experienced massive levels of hype in their careers early on and ultimately managed to fulfil their potential.
