Bo Nickal calls out Khamzat Chimaev following UFC contract
Following his second consecutive dominant performance on Dana White’s Contender Series, Bo Nickal was offered a UFC contract. He set his sights high for his UFC debut, calling out undefeated No.3-ranked welterweight Khamzat Chimaev.
Although Nickal is a middleweight, the fight could still potentially happen down the road. Chimaev has teased a potential move to the 185-pound division after missing weight by nearly eight pounds for his UFC 279 main event match-up against Nate Diaz.
Nickal doubled down on his call for a debut against Chimaev in his post-fight press conference, stating:
Nickal is unlikely to face Chimaev, who is on the cusp of title contention, in his UFC debut. If he is able to stack up some wins, it is possible that the two could meet in the future.
