A night will come when Bo Nickal has to fight in the second round. But that night wasn’t Saturday, July 8, 2023. Nickal took care of the debuting Val Woodburn with a knockout in 36 seconds. Nickal is now 2-0 in the UFC and 5-0 in his pro MMA career.
None of Nickal’s four fights have gone past the first round so far, and the beat just goes on for the Penn State wrestling legend.
Here’s how the people of Twitter reacted to the demolition.

Bo Nickal having legit hands is unfair dude. He shouldn’t be allowed to be the best wrestler in the ufc and have actual striking ability.

Bo Nickal is going to be a STAR for the UFC. If you are unfamiliar with his game, study up. Penn State isn’t just a wrestling school anymore. It’s a UFC school now too! pic.twitter.com/JSGEGTqyfG

Bo Nickal closed as a -1500 favorite tonight, joining Cris Cyborg as the only fighters in the last 15 years to close with -1000 odds or shorter in each of their first two UFC fights.
