Aljamain Sterling (21-3 MMA) believes Bo Nickal (3-0 MMA) has all the skills and potential to become a UFC Champion.
Sterling is preparing to make his second 135lb title defense, this time taking on the former bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw (17-4 MMA) later this month at UFC 280 in Abu Dubai.
The ‘Funk Master’ is coming off his first-ever UFC title defense in which he defeated arch-rival Petr Yan (16-3 MMA) at UFC 273, claiming a closely contested split decision victory.
With that win, Sterling was able to earn himself validity as the Champion following the pair’s first meeting early last year after a very controversial ending.
Ensuing from Bo Nickal’s Dana Whites Contender Series performances, the undefeated prospect now finds himself in the UFC with only three professional fights on his record.
Despite not even fighting in the UFC yet, the 26-year-old has already been tipped to beat many of the top contenders in the 185lb division, with some claiming that he could be the one to dethrone the current champion Israel Adesanya.
Speaking with LowKickMMA’s James Lynch, Aljamain Sterling revealed that he believes Bo Nickal has all the tools to live up to the hype and become a world champion in Mixed Martial Arts.
“I think Bo is really good. I think he is talented. I think he has the world at his fingertips, he can do whatever he wants,” Sterling stated.
However, the ‘Funkmaster’ warned Nickal not to get ahead of himself, as he will undoubtedly face some sort of pushback at some point or another within the MMA career.
“Obviously, he hasn’t been tested in the stand-up department but that’s because he is passing all of his tests with flying colors but there will be some pushback at some point.“
“I think he’s going to understand that when he gets to the ballpark there is going to be some adversity he’s going to have to face and I he’ll be ready for it as long as he stays the course and keeps training the way he’s been training I can’t see why he can’t be a future World champ.“
Despite the lack of professional MMA experience, Bo Nickal is on a mission to change that narrative, as he has already got himself his first UFC fight booked against Jamie Pickett (13-8 MMA) at UFC 282 in December.

Bo Nickal is amused by the amount of UFC veterans calling him out already.
Nickal only has three professional fights under his belt, but he has been called out by numerous UFC veterans. Nickal is one of the most decorated wrestlers to hit the UFC and begins his young career as one of the most hyped fighters ever.
His two wins in “DWCS” were extremely impressive, as it didn’t take him very long to dismantle his opponents. He submitted both of them in the first round and his second fight lasted less than a second.
One of the veterans that called out Nickal was Darren Till. Till doesn’t buy into the hype and believes he could derail the hype train that comes with Nickal. Till believed that they handed Nickal a few “lay-ups”, to boost his popularity.
“I just think it’s hilarious,” Nickal said. “Why are you all calling me out? It’s wild stuff. I’m not calling out high-school wrestlers for wrestling matches. That’s kind of what the equivalent is. They’re all worried about me, but it’s all good. Your time will come when I decide it. It doesn’t really matter what you think or say. I make the calls. If I want to fight you, I’ll fight you.” (Transcribed by MMAfighting.com)
Nickal has a quick turnaround from his last fight on the “Contender’s Series”, as he takes on Jamie Pickett in his UFC debut. Nickal may already have the best wrestling in the middleweight division, but it will be fun to see him progress his striking and other aspects of his game. The sky’s the limit for the young prospect, who has already started calling out fighters like Khamzat Chimaev.

Collegiate wrestling standout and MMA fighter Bo Nickal is redacting some comments he recently made regarding the UFC and prelim fighters. Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani the undefeated Nickal confidently declared that he was not a prelim level fighter, claiming he is a main card fighter. Later, on Twitter, the American athlete changed his tone.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, he said:
“Do I look like, am I a prelim guy? I’m not a prelim guy. If I have to fight on the prelims, I’ll just retire, I’m done. I don’t know if it’s in the contract, but they’ll (the UFC) do the right thing, they’ll do the smart thing and if I’m not, like I said, if I’m on the prelims, I’ll retire. I’m out… I’ve seen them do it before, put a bigger fight on the prelim, but I just, I don’t know. I’m a main card guy, it just doesn’t make sense. It’s Dana White’s Contender Series again, but I’m main eventing Dana White’s Contender Series at 2-0. Every fight I’m in is the main event. So, they’re putting me on the main card.” [Transcript courtesy of BJPenn.com]
Currently, the Colorado-born wrestler is 3-0 overall in MMA with his most recent two wins being on Dana White’s Contender Series. Nickal will be making his debut on a regular UFC event at UFC 282 scheduled for December 10 against Jamie Pickett (13-8-0). This middleweight fight appears to be a prelim bout and will not take place on the main card.
Shortly after his interview with Helwani, Nickal had a change of heart and said on Twitter:
“I’ve been thinking about it a lot… If the UFC puts a card together with 10 people who are all bigger draws than me, which is doable as there are many bigger draws than me currently, I’ll fight on prelims. Pains me to say it but it’d be the right thing. What do y’all think?”

The US-born athlete Bo Nickal has been such a promising prospect in MMA due to how successful he was in collegiate wrestling. He was a three-time NCAA Division I National Champion with Penn State. In contrast with past UFC champions; Mark Coleman and Brock Lesnar only earned this title once while Daniel Cormier and Matt Hughes never earned this illustrious title.
Despite having a very impressive record to his name, Nickal would not qualify for the US Olympic Wrestling team. During the tryout finals, he lost to David Taylor for the spot. Taylor would go on to earn a Gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Since then, Bo Nickal has now turned his attention to MMA full-time. He is training at American Top Team with coach Dan Lambert.
