Long-linked with a future matchup against Khamzat Chimaev, unbeaten prospect, Bo Nickal remains supremely confident of beating the Chechen if they face off in the UFC soon — claiming his own wrestling background would likely prove too much for the former to deal with.
Nickal, who has yet to crack the middleweight top-15, has been sidelined since he turned in the most high-profile win of his naive professional career to date, riding out a unanimous decision win over former ranked challenger, Paul Craig at UFC 309 two months ago.
And as for the unbeaten, Chimaev, the current number three rated middleweight challenger has been tipped to feature in a championship charge in a return to North America next by UFC CEO, Dana White — following his most recent victory.
