“Colby Is Crying” – Bo Nickal Runs Through Kyle Daukaus

ByThomas AlbanoMixed Martial Arts Journalist

On the biggest stage of his MMA career, Bo Nickal delivered, dominating Kyle Daukaus and putting him away for a first-round finish at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.

Seconds into the fight, Nickal ducked under a Daukaus punch and slammed him. In the guard of Daukaus, Nickal pummeled and landed elbows, opening up a cut on Daukaus’ forehead.

After getting stood up by the referee for a lack of action, Nickal dropped Daukaus with a hard right hand, landing some follow-up shots that ended the fight.

Nickal is now 9-1 since transitioning to MMA in 2022. The former NCAA champion has now won back-to-back fights, both by KO/TKO, after suffering the sole loss of his career to Reinier de Ridder last year.

This was Daukaus’ first loss in his second UFC tenure. He returned last year with back-to-back first-minute knockouts of Michel Pereira and Gerald Meerschaert.
