The UFC 290 card is live right now from the T-Mobile Arena in Las, Vegas, Nevada, and it’s where uber prospect Bo Nickal just picked up a swift KO win.
It was a super short notice opponent, but despite pretty much being in almost a no-win situation, Nickal still found a way to look great. He showed power, accuracy, and good striking ability for a newcomer, and didn’t even need to use his vaunted wrestling to pick up a very quick win.
It only took him 38 seconds to get a win over Val Woodburn, and showed more from his overall MMA game as well.
Official Result: Bo Nickal def. Val Woodburn by TKO at :38 of round 1
