Nickal called the fight with Chimayev one of the most anticipated fights in the UFC

"The way I see it, my fight with Hamzat is definitely the most exciting fight in our division. There are three of the most anticipated fights in MMA: Jones vs. Aspinall, Topuria vs. Makhachev or someone else from the lightweight division. And finally, our fight with Hamzat, which will be a truly exciting confrontation. This is what the fans are waiting for, and I myself am striving for it. I'm sure Hamzat wants to share the octagon with me too. So I just have to keep winning. Then we'll definitely meet," MMAJunkie quoted Nickal as saying.
