Speaking on his podcast, The Weekly Scraps, Sterling stated: "He is what I call a once in a lifetime type of talent per weight class... Phenomenal. Dana [White] even said 'He's probably like, yeah dummy, you should have signed me the first time', and I'm just like, 'Yeah, Dana, should have signed him the first time.'" Sterling continued to add: "He could have made his UFC debut already. We did not need to see Bo Nickal on the Contender Series for a second time to know how good the kid freaking is." Many fans were surprised to see that Nickal wasn't offered a UFC contract following his first performance on Dana White's Contender Series. Nickal, however, shared that he was okay with the decision.

He set his sights high for his UFC debut, calling out undefeated No.3-ranked welterweight Khamzat Chimaev.

Chimaev has teased a potential move to the 185-pound division after missing weight by nearly eight pounds for his UFC 279 main event match-up against Nate Diaz. Khamzat Chimaev@KChimaev1 8 5 2218111761 8 5 https://t.co/urOK6BPayG Nickal doubled down on his call for a debut against Chimaev in his post-fight press conference, stating: "I feel like that's a good matchup for me. He's obviously a high level grappler, high level fighter. He's one of the top fighters, not only in his division, but in the UFC so I have a lot of respect for his skills, but I also know what I'm about." Nickal is unlikely to face Chimaev, who is on the cusp of title contention, in his UFC debut. If he is able to stack up some wins, it is possible that the two could meet in the future.
