The UFC middleweight division is buzzing with anticipation as two undefeated and dominant fighters, Bo Nickal and Khamzat Chimaev, loom on the horizon. With their intimidating grappling skills and impressive records, the potential matchup between them has captured the imagination of MMA fans worldwide. Bo Nickal, in a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, expressed his desire for the fight, acknowledging that while it still needs time to materialize, the possibilities are tantalizing.

The long-awaited showdown:

Bo Nickal, who burst onto the UFC scene with two impressive victories on the Contender Series, has set his sights on a blockbuster fight against Khamzat Chimaev. However, he believes that both fighters need to continue building their reputations before such a momentous clash can take place. Nickal expressed his desire to witness Chimaev face another formidable middleweight contender, while he plans to secure a few more wins of his own.

“Everyone wants to see me fight Khamzat, I wanna fight Khamzat, but I think that we need to build more,” Nickal said. “He hasn’t fought in a while. I would like to see him fight an 85er’, I’ll get a couple more fights… My goal with Khamzat has always been Allegiant Stadium, sell it out for the belt and blow the roof off that place when I smash that guy.”

Nickal is fresh off a win over Val Woodburn at UFC 290, while Chimaev is expected to make his return later this year. It won’t be long before they face off in the octagon if both guys keep winning. It will be one of the biggest battles in UFC history when they do, too.
