Bo Nickal’s next challenge inside the Octagon is set for November 16th at UFC 309, where he’ll face Paul Craig on the main card at Madison Square Garden.
Nickal has already secured impressive victories and continues to look better in every fight inside the Octagon. As the middleweight prospect continues to garner attention among fight fans, he’s now looking for his biggest win to date against the experienced Craig.
While Khamzat Chimaev is often mentioned as a potential future opponent, Nickal believes that matchup is getting closer to becoming a reality. Still, he is focused on improving before taking on such a challenge.
“It’s definitely getting closer,” Nickal told reporters on Wednesday. “Khamzat’s last performance was incredible — probably his best yet. Submitting a former champion is an incredible feat. He’s definitely in line for a title shot. I have a lot of catching up to do, and I’m still fighting unranked guys. Those are the kinds of fights I want in the future, but my main focus right now is to improve, develop, and get better at fighting. We’ll make that fight happen in time,” Nickal concluded.
