When the UFC announced the fight order for the UFC 300 card, many fans were shocked to see Bo Nickal on the main card.

The stacked card is full with past champions and future Hall of Famers, but the unranked middleweight’s fight was still put over the likes of Jiri Prochazka vs. Aleksandar Rakic and Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan.

However, now it seems like Nickal’s fight against Cody Brundage has been bumped down to be the opening bout of the main card. At least according to new promo for UFC 300.

Bo Nickal is undefated

The fact that the former three-time NCAA Division National Champion is on the main card of UFC 300 after just five pro MMA fights says something about what potentional the promotion sees in Bo Nickal.

However, for many fans, the 28-year-old American wrestler still has a lot to prove as a MMA fighter, even though he stopped every opponent in the first round so far. UFC 300 is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight where reigning champion Alex Pereira takes on former title holder Jamahal Hill.
