KO Bo: Nickal Wins MMA Debut With 33-Second Knockout
After two amateur fights ending in two finishes, Nickal continued his MMA career by turning pro and taking on John Noland last night on UFC Fight Pass. While expectation were high going into the fight, Nickal lived up to them and then some, earning a vicious knockout victory in just 33 seconds.
First, let’s provide some context to this: while it was on UFC Fight Pass, this was not a UFC fight. Instead, it was a part of Jorge Masvidal’s iKON FC. And with that being the case, Nickal’s opponent was not exactly top-tier. Noland is a 36-year-old who was also making his pro MMA debut, after totaling a 6-2 amateur MMA record.
