BO NICKAL

An American middleweight, Bo Nickal began his professional MMA career after dominating the amateur ranks. Before becoming a standout at American Top Team, he achieved high-level success as a three-time NCAA Division I champion and a U23 World Wrestling gold medalist. After securing a roster spot through Dana White’s Contender Series, the southpaw has leveraged his elite grappling pedigree to establish himself as a formidable threat in his weight class.

Nickal currently holds a 9-1-0 professional record and enters his upcoming bout with recent victories in his favor. Since his lone career loss to Reinier de Ridder in May 2025, he has rebounded with a knockout of Rodolfo Vieira last November and a stoppage win over Kyle Daukaus in June 2026. This recent streak builds upon earlier triumphs, which include a submission win against Cody Brundage and a unanimous decision victory over Paul Craig.
