UFC middleweight Bo Nickal is keeping himself busy on the wrestling circuit with yet another booking post-White House win. Shortly after he tangles with Max McEnelly later this month in Cleveland, Nickal will make a quick turnaround to battle Olympic champion Shirvani Muradov at RAF Moscow on Sept. 5 on FOX Nation.
Muradov, now 41, won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Nickal, 30, will share the card with RAF Moscow headliner Khamzat Chimaev, who wrestles former UFC welterweight champion Tyron
Woodley in the catchweight main event. Nickal and Chimaev have been embroiled in a war of words for the last few years and may eventually end up colliding on the RAF mats.
Or perhaps the UFC Octagon.
Elsewhere in the RAF Moscow lineup, Anatoly Malykhin and Pouya Rahmani collide at heavyweight, not long after Yusuf Raisov and Marif Piraev lock horns in the middleweight division. In addition, Jordan Burroughs returns to face Russia’s Magomed Kurbanaliev in middleweight action.
