Bo Nickal picks preferred roommate between Colby Covington and Sean Strickland

During a recent interview, Bo Nickal was given the almost impossible task of choosing between Colby Covington and Sean Strickland as a potential roommate.

The wrestling specialist is the UFC’s newest acquisition, and despite being green in the sport, he arguably looks like a future title challenger in the middleweight division. Coming into the sport with elite-level wrestling credentials, the 26-year-old has already developed a devastating standup game and tricky submission ability.

When asked who he'd rather share a room with out of the controversial Colby Covington and Sean Strickland, Bo Nickal insisted that the question was "way tougher" than any he's had before. He eventually revealed his answer:

"Dude, what the heck? That's the toughest question, that's way tougher than any question I've ever got before. Probably Sean Strickland, I guess, I don't know. I mean, they're both weirdos, but I feel like [with] Sean Strickland, I feel like I could actually have a conversation with him. No matter if he was saying crazy stuff or whatever... I could at least talk to him, with Colby I'd be like, 'Dude, I couldn't even talk to you, bro.' [He's] too far out there, so yeah, probably Sean."

The two bold personalities have had their fair share of controversies over the years. Many continue to root against both Strickland and Covington for comments they've made throughout their careers.

Bo Nickal has his chance to cement his name as a contender if he manages to put on a statement performance in his UFC debut against Jamie Pickett. The fight was originally scheduled for December 10, but was forced to be rescheduled until next year after the prodigy suffered an injury in training.

When will Colby Covington return to the octagon?

Colby Covington is one of the best welterweight competitors in the world, but has been out of action for eight months due to ongoing legal action alongside Jorge Masvidal.

According to Dana White, 'Chaos' is ready to return to the octagon with the UFC hierarchy looking to book a clash between the controversial wrestler and Khamzat Chimaev sometime next year.

The bout will likely be a number-one contender clash, with the winner potentially stepping in to face the winner of the rumored welterweight title fight between newly-crowned champion Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman.
