Bo Nickal excited to clash with Khamzat Chimaev
Bo Nickal has been steadily climbing the welterweight rankings since making his UFC debut in 2023. Nickal is coming off a commendable victory against Paul Craig and is now scheduled to lock horns with Reinier de Ridder in May this year.
Nickal recently appeared in an interview for Home of Fight during which he claimed that his clash against Khamzat Chimaev would be the third most exciting fight that the UFC can make right now.
The 29-year-old said:
“I think as far as the fights in the UFC, you’ve got at the top, Jones and Aspinall, you got Ilia potentially with Islam or another 55’er and then I think right after that, the most exciting fight next is me and Khamzat. That’s something that the fans need to see, that I want to see, I’m sure he wants it as well so I just got to keep winning fights and we’ll make it happen.”
