Sehudo advises Nickal to "hold his horses"

Henry Cejudo, former UFC champion in two weight categories, commented on the title prospects of the promotion's middleweight prospect Bo Nickal. According to Henry, Bo needs to win 10 more fights to become champion.

"Nickal needs to have a full three-round fight. He needs to get a feel for it. After all, if he wants to be champion, he's going to have to have five-round fights against Strickland, Costa, Whittaker or Cannonier. There are a lot of tough guys fighting at middleweight. So he needs to hold his horses. I think he needs to win about 10 more fights to become champion," Sejudo said on the YouTube show Pound4Pound.

Earlier, Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion, said that Nickal is not ready for top-10 opponents.
