9 Jul 2023

Bo Nickal did not need to lean on his wrestling against Val Woodburn.

Nickal (5-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) showed off his hands when he rocked and dropped Woodburn (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in just 38 seconds on Saturday. The middleweight bout opened up the UFC 290 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Nickal stunned Woodburn with a right hook, followed by a left hook, then an uppercut that dropped the octagon newcomer. One follow-up shot is all Nickal needed to end the fight in spectacular fashion.

Nickal has finished all five of his professional wins in the first round. Woodburn, who stepped in on less than a week’s notice, suffered his first-career loss.
