June 2024 · 3 minute read

Bo Nickal finally gets to make his UFC debut at UFC 285 against Jamie Pickett inside the T-Mobile Arena. The fight featured in the main fight card of UFC 285 and it couldn’t have been a better debut for Nickal. 

Ahead of the fight, everybody knew Nickal’s extraordinary wrestling prowess and the fighter proved just that in his first fight. Bo Nickal went all out from the start and both fighters found themselves in a clinched position. Nickal was dominating the position and landed a knee that looked like an illegal low blow which the referee chose to ignore. 

Nickal then spun around and got a hold of Pickett’s back and it looked dangerous for the fighter.  Nickal was quick to make the transition and successfully lock an arm triangle with three minutes on the clock. The hold was tight and it forced Pickett to tap out. The crowd went crazy and Nickal proved his point in his much-anticipated middleweight UFC debut.
