"If I could predict who will be champion, in my mind in the division, Hamzat Chimaev could be the next titleholder. He's a tough opponent for every guy, fighting him is a test. He will probably challenge for the belt in one or two fights," Nickal was quoted as saying by Bloody Elbow.
Earlier in the network there was information that Chimaev has serious difficulties in obtaining an American visa. Therefore, his future in the promotion remains unknown for the time being.
