Bo Nickal was one of the biggest favorites in all of DWCS history coming in (at press time) as a -3000 favorite over Zachary Borrego. Nickal was a highly-touted prospect with a wrestling background but only one MMA fight to date.
He got into the Octagon and secured the first-round submission and what many believed would be a secured UFC contract, but that wasn’t the case.
Dana White offered Nickal a second fight in the DWCS due to his inexperience with MMA.
