The showdown between Khamzat Chimaev and Kamaru Usman feels like a gift from the fight gods. These two warriors are undoubtedly among the best in the current UFC lineup. Both Usman and Chimaev have earned their reputations as dominant fighters, and this matchup is nothing short of a clash between two ferocious titans.

Paulo Costa’s decision to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Khamzat Chimaev has certainly added some excitement to the card, as Kamaru Usman steps in as the replacement. Facing a powerhouse like Chimaev on short notice is a daunting task, and not everyone is up for the challenge. However, Bo Nickal seems to hold a different perspective. Nickal expressed his disappointment at not being given the opportunity to step into the fight.

Dana White chose the former champion Kamaru Usman to be Khamzat Chimaev’s opponent over any other fighter. Usman is a former champion and could potentially surprise Khamzat Chimaev even on such short notice.

Bo Nickel, on the other hand, holds a different perspective on this matter. He firmly believes that if Dana White had personally reached out to him for the fight, he would have readily accepted the opportunity. Nickel openly expressed his disappointment at the fact that he hadn’t received a single call regarding the fight, leaving him wondering why such an offer hadn’t come his way.

Nickal stated that most fighters were approached by UFC to be the backup except him and he expressed his disappointment. However, netizens seem to have other thoughts. They took to Reddit to express their opinion. Some of the comments of the fans are as follows :

They picked up the phone,Usman said yes, then put the phone down. Usman was just higher on the list.

Lol Bo gotta beat up a few more random blue collar workers before he gets invited to the big leagues.

The UFC is protecting their boy. That boy is Bo Nickal.

usman and khamzat both decimate him

I don’t think Bo’s being protected, he’s just not high enough on the list to get called yet lol

God I f***ing hate Bo Nickal. To the point I don’t want to watch any of his fights which I’ve never done for any other fighter I disliked

Bo is a delusional douchebag can’t wait to see him get humbled

It is evident from the reactions of the fans that they are not amused by Nickal’s constant complaining about the matchup. Netizens believe that UFC and Dana White are trying to protect Nickel’s undefeated record. They further add that Usman ranks higher on the list than him.

When it comes to Usman making his entrance, Bo Nickal finds the fight quite captivating, though he remains uncertain about the duration of Usman’s stay in the 185-pound division. He stated, “Not too much of an upside, but for Usman, he’s already been a defending champion, and then just lost back-to-back [fights],” Nickal said. “He’s not really in a great position. But it should be a good fight.”

Nickal further added “[Usman’s] not going to stay at middleweight. I’ll bet any amount of money he doesn’t stay at middleweight, but maybe [if he gets Sean Strickland for the title]. That would be crazy because he’s never really been on my radar.”
