Bo Nickal calls his top 3 wrestlers in MMA of all time
Because wrestling continues to dominate in MMA, many UFC champions have a wrestling base, such as Merab Dvalishvili, Islam Makhachev and Belal Muhammad, but Nickal has mentioned its top 3 of all time.
“Khabib (Nurmagomedov), Khamzat (Chimaev), Islam (Makhachev),” Nickal replied when he was asked his top three MMA wrestlers of all time by a fan.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is generally considered by the majority of MMA fan base as the best wrestler of all time in view of his extremely dominant run who saw him end his career unbeaten on 29-0.
Nickal Picking Khamzat Chimaev came as a big surprise, since the two continuously played online with each other, possibly set up for a future fight.
Although the 29-year-old records his undefeated record against Paul Craig last November, his performance received some criticism because he was unable to score the finish.
Nevertheless, he claimed that he would 'ragdoll' and 'dominate' Chimaev as the two fought, in a fight that might show who is the best wrestler in the 185 pound division.
What is the next step for Bo Nickal?
Now that Nickal is finally in the top 15 of the division, his next fight should bring him closer to title conflicts.
The 29-year-old hopes to fight at UFC 314 after he leaked the alleged main event for the return to Miami.
Nickal must have fought against a striking striker during his UFC official period and has checked all his opponents quite comfortably with his wrestling.
It may now be time for Nickal to show other sides of his game and whether he is ready to be added to the middleweight title interview and a fight against Paulo Costa can be useful.
The Brazilian is currently at 11 in the division and is 1-4 in his last five fights, which means that he has to defend his ranking in his next outing.
