The UFC's newest signing Bo Nickal believes that he is more dedicated to victory than top welterweight contender Khamzat Chimaev, and has no problem letting his feelings be known.
Nickal is a Penn State wrestling prodigy, and has transitioned with ease to MMA by landing three stoppage wins within a minute each this year to earn a UFC contract in record time. Chimaev's is a similar story, and within just 12 professional fights where he has left the second round just once, he is a top contender at both welterweight and middleweight.
The former wrestler has explained that he wants to face Chimaev because he feels that despite his wins in the cage, he can't beat the scale and as such will struggle with a hard-working grappler. To this point, Chimaev has yet to face a really complete wrestler, and struggled over the distance with a jiu-jitsu ace in Gilbert Burns.
