Sterling Urges Nickal to Consider Moving Down to Welterweight

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling believes that Bo Nickal is significantly smaller compared to the top contenders in the middleweight division and should think about moving down to welterweight.

I hate that I was right but the size disparity for Nickal at 185 is very apparent. Bo is a middleweight but the top 15 MWs are noticeably bigger than him in the cage.

Nickal's last fight took place against Reinier de Ridder on May 4 at UFC on ESPN 67 in Des Moines, Iowa. Bo lost that match by technical knockout in the second round. He currently has a mixed martial arts record of seven victories and one defeat.

Nickal made his UFC debut in March 2023 against Jamie Pickett, winning that bout by submission in the first round.
