Bo Nickal is ready to rebound from his first loss inside the Octagon.
After falling short against Reinier de Ridder in May, the former Nittany Lion will look to get back into the win column when he meets middleweight standout Rodoflo Vieira at UFC 322 on Saturday, November 15. ESPN’s Higor Ciconello was the first to report the matchup.
Nickal earned his UFC contract in 2022 after bagging back-to-back first-round finishes on Dana White’s Contender Series. Since then, he’s added four more wins to his resume, but the three-time NCAA Division I national champion bit off a bit more than he could chew against former two-division ONE world titleholder Reinier de Ridder.
