Representing the American Top Team, middleweight Bo Nickal is a former Penn State wrestling star who claimed three NCAA Division I titles. Known for his elite grappling background, he has adapted his skills for mixed martial arts by developing a style centered on finishing opponents with both strikes and submissions. His progression to the sport's top promotion followed a standout stint on Dana White's Contender Series, quickly marking him as a major threat in the 185-pound division.

Nickal currently maintains a flawless professional record of 6-0. His most recent victory occurred in April 2024, where he submitted Cody Brundage. His previous career wins include a TKO victory over Val Woodburn, along with a string of submission finishes against Jamie Pickett, Donovan Beard, and Zachary Borrego.
