The Craig Jones Invitational (CJI) event, organized by none other than Craig Jones, continues to pick up steam…
As it’s gained interest by even some of the UFC stars – including Bo Nickal!
That should come as no surprise, though.
For starters, Nickal is one of the best wrestlers in the UFC octagon. And there is the $1 million on the prize.
So it’s fair to say that Nickal is more than motivated to give CJI a go.
Here’s what he had to share via an interview on social media:
Get me in there.
I think I can make 80 kilos.
He added that, taking into account the amount of money involved, every elite athlete should try to give it a go:
That’s a lot of money…
They probably didn’t have to go that hard, they probably could have done like $100,000.
A million dollars? That’s a lot of money bro.I feel like every single guy should try to go to that tournament as long as you have a legitimate chance to win, which…
There’s a lot of guys that probably believe they do.
