309, Nickal (7-0) picked up a unanimous choice win over
Paul
Craig (17-9-1) in placing contest the place the vaunted wrestler

caliber of Khamzat
Chimaev. It marked the primary time that the unbeaten

depends on. Showing on the Ariel

criticisms aired in his path.

disappointing was the commentary, and simply kinda listening to the way in which
they have been trying on the combat,” the Penn State wrestler famous. “To
hear issues like ‘DC’ [Daniel
Cormier] say, ‘Oh, he’s not prepared for Khamzat’…I believe he was
making an attempt to be respectful, but in addition making an attempt to love perhaps set me down
a peg. It was simply bizarre to listen to. However I simply really feel like that individuals
that I do know, which can be in my nook, and would give me sincere,
real suggestions, they’re very pleased with the victory. I used to be very
pleased with the victory, in order that’s what I actually care about on the
finish of the day. But it surely was slightly disappointing to listen to a few of
these feedback from folks I respect rather a lot.”
