Rising middleweight Bo Nickal recently revealed which fight at UFC 300 he's looking forward to the most. 

The wrestling specialist is set to compete at the event opposite Cory Brundage. The fight will mark the 5-0 Nickal's third appearance in the Octagon. 

Also on the card is a UFC light heavyweight championship main event between fan favorite Alex Pereira and former champ Jamahal Hill. The symbolic BMF title will also be making a return, with the notoriously vicious Justin Gaethje putting on the line against former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway. 

'That's A Freaking Amazing Fight' - Bo Nickal On Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan

During a recent interview with Michael Bisping, Nickal was asked which fight he's looking forward to seeing the most. He revealed his keen interest in watching former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira duke it out with Arman Tsarukyan.

"As a fan, the fight that I'm looking forward to the most," Nickal said. "Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan, that's a freaking amazing fight, two guys that are so high level, well-rounded, definitely, like, I just mentioned pushing the envelope and moving the sport forward, I think both of these guys are doing that. And while they are both so skilled, I think that they're both skilled in different areas."

He went on to praise both men's respective skillsets. Unsurprisingly, Nickal was quick to highlight Oliveira's elite-level ground game, as well as his striking power.

For Tsarukyan, Nickal made note of his knockout power opposite Beneil Dariush, as well as how competitive he looked against now-UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev. 

Nickal concluded by labeling the fight "one of the highest-level" bouts scheduled for the event. 

"So, I mean, as far as skills go, I mean, that's definitely to me probably one of the highest-level fights on the card," Nickal said.
