Nickal believes the fight against Craig is a valuable opportunity for him to grow, stating, "I think it's just a step up in competition for me. Who I fight doesn't matter as much as the way I'm developing and improving in the sport." His focus lies on personal development similar to that of his opponent, indicating no personal stakes but purely professional challenges.
Craig emphasized the level of his jiu-jitsu by referencing his experience against top grapplers, stating, "The first grappling match I ever took was against Gordon Ryan... he couldn't submit me for 13 minutes. That was with three training sessions in that sport." This showcases his confidence and the high level of skill he possesses in submission grappling.
