LAS VEGAS – If Dana White had to pick one fighter from the most recent season of Dana White’s Contender Series it’d be a no-brainer.
“Bo Nickal, 100 percent,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters after Nickal’s 52-second submission of Donovan Beard at the UFC Apex.
With his win, Nickal essentially repeated history. In early August, he took 10 seconds longer to submit Zack Borrego. While many viewers thought the former Dan Hodge Trophy winner would be a shoe-in for a UFC deal, White elected not to, but rather bring him back on DWCS instead.
