Bo Nickal came. Bo Nickal conquered. It took just 61 seconds for the “Greatest Pure Athlete Who Ever Lived” to win his second professional MMA fight, as he submitted Zachary Borrego in the very first round.
The newsworthy piece of the night though was that UFC President Dana White did not offer Bo a full-time UFC contract. Instead, White said that Bo will have to come on the show and win again to get his UFC contract. Now, as pointed out by MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, this is largely just semantics as it’s likely Bo agreed beforehand that he’d fight twice on the Contender Series before getting the real deal contract.
