"25-year-old man wrestling high school kids in Sweden" - Bo Nickal critiques "emotional" Khamzat Chimaev as he also questions 'Borz's decision making
Bo Nickal burst onto the scene following two impressive performances in Dana White's Contender Series. Nickal made further headlines when he called out Khamzat Chimaev after his second victory in the DWCS in September.
Both fighters have a background in wrestling and have implemented a wrestling-heavy game plan when competing in MMA to dominate opponents.
'The Allen Assassin' recently appeared on Michael Bisping's podcast, Believe You Me. He was asked to share his thoughts on the wrestling skills of 'Borz' to which he replied:
"I think he competes a little bit emotionally. And when I watched his actual wrestling stuff, I mean it was basically like a 25-year-old man wrestling like high school kids in Sweden. There's not really much to be said about that. So I hope he would beat those guys."
Watch the video below from 29:55:
Bo Nickal has a mere three fights to his name in professional MMA, and has already been signed by the UFC. At the age of just 26, he has a bright future ahead of him.
Khamzat Chimaev is also only 28 years old. The dominance displayed by both men could see them on a collision course in the future.
'The Allen Assassin' believes that he will 'smash' Chimaev if the two eventually fight.
"I hope Chimaev keeps winning. It'll get bigger and bigger, we'll do it up and I'm going to smash him."

Bo Nickal out of UFC debut fight against Jamie Pickett at UFC 282, will only fight in 2023
Bo Nickal is being labeled as a future UFC champion before even fighting for the promotion. 'The Allen Assassin' is carrying a level of hype that even Khamzat Chimaev and Islam Makhachev would have struggled to compete with.
Nickal is currently 3-0 in MMA, but has a total octagon time of 2 minutes and 27 seconds. This is less than one full round in an MMA fight.
The dominance on display, coupled with his accomplished career as a college wrestler, makes Bo Nickal one of the hottest prospects in the sport.
'The Allen Assassin' was scheduled to face Jamie Pickett on his UFC debut at UFC 282 in December, but had to pull out due to an injury. He will be out until 2023, when he will make his much anticipated UFC debut.
