Nickal smashes Chimaev

[Koro_11]

Both are still relatively untested in the deep waters, but from what I’ve seen so far I would favor Bo.

Both are undoubtably talented, but one of them seems too distracted with clowning around and hyping himself up, while the other seems laser focused, and determined to do it the right way.

Hope they fight sooner rather than later, I would take Bo in a heartbeat.

Bo has had 6 minutes of cage time..... Combined in his whole career. He has seen half a round go by 1 time.... Even if you exclude Burns fight the level of opponent and test theyve fought is not comparable at all

Khamzat has fought AT LEAST 8 fighters whod be by far the best opponent Bo would have fought.....

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Would love to see those two scrap

 

[balkanbomber85]

No need for this fight right now as Nickal is a newcomer and has less than 6min octagon time and Khamzat is literally one or max two wins away from a title shot.

 

[NewLockGuy]

Yeah, lets hype the guy to even stupider levels.

 

[kahymo]

interresting enough they both would take the fight if presented

that should be an epic PPV without needing a title fight

i would buy that for sure, but should be on neutral territory,
Europe or Australia

 

[kahymo]

the UFC is botching these marquee names by not making them fight more often
expecially Khamzat who become a Social Meme sensation more than a recognized threat
i still see his flaws from the Burns fight

Burns vs Bo, lets go!

Beginning to think Chimaev is done competing. It will be at least a year between fights with no logical explanation. This is an interesting article on Khamzat: https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/new...mafb&utm_source=FBAUTOFEED&utm_medium=SKMMAFB

Khamzat will never fight again

 

[loisestrad]

There's a reason Bo rhymes with pro, and Chimaeveteur rhymes with amateur.

 

[Ruv]

With the way the UFC books Chimaev's fights we likely see Bo vs. Khamzat in late 2025.

 

[JustBleed69]

Terrible take. Nothing remotely suggests this as reality, also relatively untested? Khamzat fought Gilbert Burns ffs, who has Nickal fought?

Khamzat has looked infinitely more impressive against high level competition than Nickal has against bums.

 

[Filter909]

Book it Dana. Hype train wreck for one of them.

It will definitely be later with the pace Khamzat takes fights at!

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Well both guys seem to be not wanting to smash anything lately so we’ll go with Nickal vs Chimaev 2028

 

[CJrider]

They're not both relatively untested. I'll use some tapology rankings to shed light on this "prospect" analysis.

Khamzat fought Aliskerov (26), Gerald Meerschaert (24), the Leech was 11th at the time, Burns is currently (4) and was #2 when they fought, Holland (15). Khamzat came back from a stupid game plan in round 2 and beat Burns by winning the 3rd.

Bo has fought Borrego (176th in US.. not globally ranked in the top 500), Beard (80th ranked in US, not top 150 global), Pickett (66), Val Woodburn (126). Treason gore was ranked 75th.

Beyond that I don't care. Both fighters are studs, both have bright futures, both are fun to watch. The competition hasn't been equivalent though and you're ridiculous for suggesting that.

 

[cmw43]

Khamzat wants this to get Bo while he's still inexperienced.

I don't like this matchup for Bo until he's built up a bit more, he's not the finished article yet.

 

[Ladder Master]

Khampass is retired. How would they
fight.

 

[Kiss My D’arce]

Khamzat would finish him
