Chael Sonnen includes Bo Nickal in his list of desired opponents for new UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.

The dust has settled following UFC 319 in recent days, but heavy criticism still surrounds former champion Dricus du Plessis in his middleweight title loss.

An astonishing stat showed just how one-sided the UFC 319 main event was. Khamzat Chimaev landed over 500 punches, but he’s still facing criticism for being ‘boring’ in the aftermath of his career-best victory.

UFC CEO Dana White expressed a willingness to grant Chimaev his wish if he's serious about it. If it comes to fruition, de Ridder thinks he is the correct contender to be standing on the other side of the cage.

Khamzat Chimaev sets sights on Reinier De Ridder, aiming to defend his championship in a thrilling first title defense clash.
