I actually think it’s a fantastic claim by Nickal that he thinks he’d beat Taylor today. Father Time and all that but since their last match set, Taylor has lost to just Yazdani, Brooks, and Sadulaev, and won the Olympics 1x and worlds 2x, and gotten silver 1x and bronze 1x up a weight pretty recently. Whereas Nickal has beat some cans in a different sport and got roughed up in his last fight and has entered exactly zero WTT despite having multiple chances.
