In the UFC, big Russian fighters like Islam Makhachev and Magomed Ankalaev dominate their divisions. Right now, Shara Magomedov is rising through the ranks, and after his historic double-spinning elbow win at UFC 307, he’s officially the new threat in the division. However, Bo Nickal isn’t buying it. He calls the fight not tough and says he’s ready to take on the challenge Shara presents.
Bo Nickal on his YouTube video said he’s up for a fight with Shara, despite his opponent’s undefeated record, calling it not a tough fight. Nickal is ready to take on the challenge in Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia, though he thinks the UFC isn’t pursuing the matchup right now. Still, he’s confident that if the fight happens someday, he can finish it in 90 seconds, cash in, and fly back with a big payday.
He stated, “It’s like I would like to fight him, but it is not a tough fight, and I would have to go to Abu Dhabi. I would have to go to Saudi, which I would do it, but I think that not a tough fight. Also UFC probably doesn’t want that right now or maybe they would….go over Saudi, make a quick check 90 seconds, call it a day, fly back.”
There’s no doubt the matchup between the two will be exciting and electrifying. Especially considering both are still undefeated and have dominated their opponents with ease. Meanwhile, he will look to extend his winning streak when he faces Paul Craig at UFC 309, set to take place on the same card as Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic.
