Bo Nickal Rides 52-Second Triangle Choke Submission to UFC Contract on DWCS
Sometimes the substance exceeds the hype. Perhaps that will be the case for Bo Nickal.
The three-time NCAA wrestling champion punched his ticket to the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Week 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series, as he submitted Donovan Beard with first-round triangle choke on Tuesday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Beard (7-2, 0-1 DWCS) bit the dust 52 seconds into Round 1.
Nickal (3-0, 2-0 DWCS) followed an overhand left into a takedown, moved to mount and threatened with a guillotine choke before catching the triangle on the transition. Beard briefly struggled, but pride carried the Cage Fury Fighting Championships titleholder only so far. He raised the white flag soon after.
