Bo Nickal’s UFC 285 win to be probed over possible illegal move

Wrestling superstar Bo Nickal did what we expected in his proper UFC debut on Saturday night. The Contender Series graduate steamrolled Jamie Pickett on route to an arm triangle submission victory.

However, Pickett’s team are crying foul.

According to MMA Junkie Pickett is filing an appeal to the Nevada Athletic Commission accusing Nickal of landing a knee to the groin during the first and only round of the fight. Pickett’s team contends that that Pickett was dealing from the affects of that knee when he was taken down by Nickal and subsequently submitted.
