"That's an amazing fight! I think those are two guys that have tremendous belief in themselves, they go out and fight extremely hard. So, I think you have to give the grappling edge to Khamzat. I think you give the conditioning edge to Dricus and the striking basically feels, for what it's worth, pretty much a toss-up."
"Their biggest asset is their belief in themselves. They go out hard and ready to win and feeling like they should win. That's going to be an entertaining fight due to this. So I don't know, it's 50/50."
Nickal has recieved attention for calling out Chimaev and wanting to prove how good his wrestling is. Talking about the biggest UFC fight ever, but now believes there's work to be done before the two can meet in the cage:
"Definitely he's a guy I look at with a lot of respect, and he's proving himself and competed against the best in the world and won. The only way we're going to get matched up is if I continue to do the same thing and I prove myself. I think it will be an exciting fight for the fans. I got a little ways to go before then, but we'll make it work."
