UFC middleweight division prospect Bo Nickal gave his prediction for the upcoming bout between Hamzat Chimaev and the organization's former featherweight champion Robert Whittaker.
"I think it's going to be a good fight. You know, obviously I would give the striking advantage to Whittaker and the grappling advantage to Chimaev. The experience is probably behind Whittaker, simply because he's had more high-level fights. But I feel that Whittaker will have a hard time dealing with Chimaev's wrestling, and that's why I think Hamzat will probably win the fight."
As a reminder, the clash between Hamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker will take place on June 22 and headlines the UFC's first UFC event in Saudi Arabia, UFC On ABC 6.
