Undefeated middleweight sensation Bo Nickal returned to the Octagon at UFC 300 last Sat. night (April 13, 2024) in Las Vegas, submitting 185-pound veteran Cody Brundage in the second stanza to improve his MMA record to 6-0 with six finishes.
Sorry, but fellow undefeated rival Khamzat Chimaev was not impressed.
This wrestling was big bullshit ???

Nickal has been openly critical of Chimaev’s wrestling in the past.
The former NCAA Division-1 National Champion out of Penn State also visualizes the biggest middleweight fight in the history of UFC, taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, assuming Chimaev (13-0) can also remain undefeated.
Easier said than done, considering his next opponent.
“This guy’s crazy,” Nickal said after his Brundage win. “I’m not happy with the way I performed either, so it’s easy to be critical. It’s easy to be critical of me, a guy who has less experience. But at the end of the day, I’m getting finishes, this guy’s winning decisions. He’s gassing out at the end of rounds. I’m widening the gap. If we ever fight, he’s coming out hot but I’m probably winning first round, second round, third round against this dude and widening the gap. Every day I widen the gap on that guy, to be honest.”
Sooner or later these two are going to fight.
