Bo Nickal faces Olympic champion on RAF Moscow: Chimaev vs. Woodley card

Bo Nickal is joining the Khamzat Chimaev vs. Tyron Woodley show, and he’s not getting an easy matchup.

RAF announced Tuesday that Nickal is set to wrestle Olympic wrestling champion Shirvani Muradov at the upcoming RAF Moscow event, which is headlined by Chimaev vs. Woodley, on Sept. 5.
