Added to UFC 300 card
Nickal is scheduled to face Cody Brundage at UFC 300 in Las Vegas on April 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Nickal was due for a step up in opponent after tearing through both DWCS opponents and winning each of his first two UFC appearances -- all four within the first round. He'll get a slightly better test in Brundage, who is 4-4 in the UFC and coming off back-to-back victories. Both men are known for their wrestling, and while Bo's takedown numbers are off the charts over a short sample size, Brundage respectably averages 2.69 takedowns per 15 minutes. Look for Nickal to enter as a heavy betting favorite despite the step up.

Rise to top continues
Nickal defeated Val Woodburn via TKO (punches) at 0:38 of Round 1 at UFC 290 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In all of Nickal's brief professional bouts prior to this one, he dominated with world-class grappling and submission skills. Seemingly intent on making a statement, Bo changed up the game plan and nearly decapitated Woodburn with a nuclear uppercut. Arguably the greatest prospect in the history of the sport, the UFC is in a tough spot with Nickal. He's 27 years of age, so he's not a kid, but how quickly can you push a guy with four pro bouts under his belt? That said, it's become quite clear Bo is going to destroy anything less than quality competition. This story continues to develop.

Facing Tresean Gore
Nickal agreed to fight Tresean Gore in a middleweight bout at UFC 290 on July 8, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Nickal made his UFC debut last month and dominated Jamie Pickett with a Round 1 submission (arm-triangle), and he'll likely remain a major favorite given his ongoing hype as one of the promotion's best-ever prospects. Gore lost his first two UFC bouts but defeated Josh Fremd via technical submission (guillotine choke) in October.
