His last outing took place at UFC 309 when he locked horns against Paul Craig. The contest featured on the main card of the event, which took place on Nov. 16 at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

The fight turned out to be mostly a striking affair that ended with Nickal taking home a unanimous decision victory. All three judges scored the bout 30-27 in favor of Nickal.


Darren Till makes a prediction for Bo Nickal vs. Khamzat Chimaev

Former UFC fighter Darren Till did not seem too impressed with Bo Nickal's performance at UFC 309. After the event, Till uploaded a post on X where he criticised Nickal and asked him to show more humility.

Till, who is friends with Khamzat Chimaev, picked 'Borz' to emerge as the winner in a possible showdown against Nickal.

[Bo Nickal has talked so much s**t. S**t talked me since he came [to] the UFC like I haven't fought and beat top guys in there. Be more humble ya ginger tool cos you are s**t and Khamzat would destroy you."
