Bo Nickal is the latest hyped prospect to lose his momentum and his perfect record with Saturday's UFC Fight Night loss to Reinier de Ridder.

Former ONE two-division champ Reinier de Ridder handed Bo Nickal, a four-time All-American wrestler, the first loss of his MMA career – with ease.

Unfortunately, it's clear that he was too hyped up too early, as once he fought someone with a decent grappling game in early 2025, his biggest flaw became apparent. Talbott was fraud checked heavily by Raoni Barcelos at UFC 311, as he was taken down eight times and struggled to compete on the ground.
