[autotag]Bo Nickal[/autotag] is the newest official star in the UFC and he is wasting absolutely no time in calling out some big names as he breaks into his professional fighting career. Nickal had just earned his official UFC contract after winning his second straight fight in Dana White’s contender series when he specifically called out his next targets.
Nickal first called out Khamzat Chimaev, a Swedish fighter with a clean 12-0 record. Nickal didn’t hold back on taking a shot at the fighter as well.
“I’m ready to go in December,” Nickal said after earning his UFC contract this week. “If the UFC wishes, give me that Swedish dude [Khamzat Chimaev]. He might not be the best guy because he can’t even make weight.”
But Nickal didn’t stop there. He went on to call out Logan Paul, a YouTube star who has become into a professional wrestler with the WWE after some celebrity boxing matches.
“If not, give me Logan Paul. Me versus Logan Paul,” Nickal said in an interview with ESPN. “I know he has some skills. If he can’t do it in the UFC, do it in the WWE. I’ll meet you in the ring.”
He hasn’t backed down on that quote either.
There are probably more than a few people who would love nothing more to see Nickal take care of business against Logan Paul in whatever ring possible, but for now Nickal will have to settle on his first official fight since signing his UFC contract. Nickal will face Jamie Pickett at UFC 282 on Dec. 10 in Las Vegas.
