Bo Nickal appears to be done being humble towards the critics following his first loss.

Nickal was stopped by Reinier de Ridder in the co-main event of UFC Des Moines this past weekend with a nasty knee to the body. Following the loss, Nickal said he wasn’t fully prepared for everything “RDR” brought to the table, and seemed to be quite reflective of the performance, and where he’s going to go moving forward. Additionally, he addressed his haters, and gave a PG rated response, essentially saying he felt bad for them in an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show — saying he’s “OK with it,” and would “pray for those people.”

However, in a since-removed video from his YouTube channel, Nickal clapped back to those critics, taking a much different tone.

“It’s interesting, of course… there’s a lot of positive and a lot of negative,” Nickal said on his now deleted video on YouTube. “All the negative, to me, I look at that and all I say is like, suck my d*ck.

“At the end of the day, say what you want. But when I get back on top, and when I’m the freaking champion of the world, you all will come crawling back. They always do. They always do, and I will spit right in your face.”

Nickal had won his previous seven pro bouts, including a 4-0 start to his UFC run. Prior to the loss to de Ridder, Nickal won a unanimous decision against Paul Craig at November’s UFC 309 event.

In the future, Nickal says he’ll remember those who talked negatively about him, and has mental receipts — whether it be from fans, or the media.

“As soon as you crawl back and are like, ‘Bo, come give me an interview,’ where were you?,’ Nickal said. “And guess what? I’m going to say, ‘Hey, come over here, loogie right between the eyes. That’s how I’ll treat you guys.

“And every one of you guys that says a bad thing, I have the memory of an elephant.”
