UFC star Bo Nickal has received the honor of a place on the main card of next month’s UFC 300 pay-per-view.

Next month in Las Vegas, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will put on one of its biggest events of all time. UFC 300 will feature some absolutely blockbuster fights and although it may not be quite as stacked as some would’ve hoped, nobody can deny that there are some incredible bouts on the card.

One example of that is Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage, as the wrestling superstar attempts to continue building momentum.
