Bo Nickal is set to face Tresean Gore at UFC 290 in Las Vegas during International Fight Week.
Bo Nickal is set to have his second octagon appearance during the UFC’s biggest week of the year. Nickal announced to Betr Combat that he will be facing Tresean Gore at UFC 290, which is scheduled for July 8 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will serve as the final event for International Fight Week. Multiple sources have confirmed the plans for the bout.
After securing a contract with a pair of first-round submission wins on the UFC’s Contender Series, Nickal (4-0) made his promotional debut at UFC 285 in March, where he defeated Jamie Pickett with an arm-triangle choke in the opening round. The Penn State national championship wrestler has yet to see the three-minute mark in any of his professional victories so far in his career. On the other hand, Gore will be making his fourth octagon appearance after reaching the finals on season 29 of The Ultimate Fighter.
After losing his first two UFC bouts, Gore bounced back with an impressive second-round guillotine choke against Josh Fremd at UFC Vegas 63 in October. UFC 290 will feature a featherweight championship unification bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Yair Rodriguez.
