Bo Nickal calls for UFC fight against Khamzat Chimaev

UFC middleweight prospect Bo Nickal has expressed interest in facing Khamzat Chimaev, suggesting a fight in the Octagon should take precedence over a wrestling match in the Real American Freestyle (RAF) promotion.

Speaking in an interview with The Schmo, Nickal noted that while he would enjoy a wrestling match in RAF, he expects a UFC matchup to occur first. Nickal described Chimaev as one of the best in the world and a highly talented fighter.

Nickal is currently ranked No. 13 in the middleweight division following recent victories over Kyle Daukaus and Rodolfo Vieira. Chimaev, a former champion, remains a top contender in the division.
