Bo Nickal is ready to recover from his first loss in the Octagon.
After falling short against Reinier de Ridder in May, the former Nittany Lion will try to return to the win column when on Saturday, November 15 at UFC 322 Middleweight Rodoflo Vieira on UFC 322 Higor Ciconello was the first to report the matchup.
Nickal earned his UFC contract in 2022 after packaging back-to-back first round finishes in the Contender Series of Dana White. Since then he has added four victories to his CV, but the triple NCAA Division I National Champion bit more than he could chew against the former two-division One World title holder Reinier de Ridder.
‘RDR’ put Nickal away in the second round of their UFC des Moines Co-Main event after catching the world-class wrestler with an annoying knee to the belly.
Bo Nickal is confronted with another difficult test
Some assumed that the UFC would give an easy back-back opportunity after its first career loss in MMA Nickal. It turns out that that is not the case.
A five-time BJJ world champion, Vieira could turn out to be another difficult outing for Nickal. ‘The Black Belt Hunter’ is 3-1 in his last four fights under the UFC banner, including a hard-fought victory over Tresean Gore in August. Before that, Vieira Banking suffocated Armgle Triangle congestions against Cody Brundage and Armen Petrosyan.
In general, Vieira 6-3 is in the Octagon And has an impressive finish of 83%, all by way of submission.
