Off the back of his shocking defeat at UFC Des Moines over the weekend, uber-prospect, Bo Nickal has been warned he now faces the reality of fighting in the Octagon and it’s level, by veteran former referee, John McCarthy.
Nickal, who returned to action in a co-main event clash over the course of weekend in Iowa, suffered his first professional loss in mixed martial arts — in quite brutal fashion.
Taking on former two-weight ONE Championship gold holder, Reinier de Ridder, decorated amateur wrestling ace, Nickal came unstuck in a stunning second round knockout by the Dutchman, who laid into the body with a massive knee strike.
