Cody Brundage aims to derail Bo Nickal’s ‘championship-level clout’ at UFC 300, shrugs off lopsided odds

Cody Brundage had a gut feeling his next fight would be against Bo Nickal at UFC 300, so when the offer officially came through, he was all about it.

Nickal (5-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is arguably the most highly touted prospect in all of MMA. The former three-time NCAA Division I national wrestling champion has had high expectations placed on him since his professional debut less than three years ago, and so far he’s delivered by finishing every opponent, including four in 62 seconds or less.

Brundage (10-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) will be the next test, because he will fight Nickal in a middleweight bout at the historic UFC 300 event, which takes place April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims expected on ESPN and ESPN+.
