Henry Cejudo is confident Bo Nickal would out-wrestle Khamzat Chimaev.
Nickal signed with the UFC following a second appearance on Contender Series this past Tuesday. The highly touted prospect needed less than a minute to submit Donovan Beard, and that was enough for UFC president Dana White and co. to offer him a contract. Following his signing, Nickal told Laura Sanko he would be ready to fight soon, asking for Chimaev for his first appearance.
White was not sold on the fight (yet), telling Nickal to ‘not get crazy here,’ but Cejudo commended the three-time NCAA Division I National Champion for going for the best of the best.
