Predictably crushed by Bo Nickal
Woodburn lost to Bo Nickal via TKO (punches) at 0:38 of Round 1 at UFC 290 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A fight that was largely viewed as one of the greatest mismatches in UFC history played out exactly that way. The highlight of Woodburn's evening was the fact he actually stuffed a Nickal takedown attempt. Of course, he was nearly knocked out cold just seconds later. Woodburn accepted this fight less than a week ago, so the end result is irrelevant. The company will grant him another bout, and it will be interesting to see what he can do with a full training camp under his belt against an opponent that isn't arguably the greatest prospect in the history of the sport.
