Chimaev doubts chances vs Olympic wrestlers, open to grappling with Bo Nickal

Khamzat Chimaev expressed doubts about his ability to compete against elite Olympic-level wrestlers like Kyle Snyder and Abdulrashid Sadulaev. However, Chimaev stated he would be happy to grapple with Bo Nickal, who similarly transitioned from wrestling to MMA. Chimaev explained that he finds it more interesting to wrestle with athletes who have made the same transition to MMA as he has. The comments suggest Chimaev sees a distinction between competing in MMA versus pure wrestling against Olympic champions.
