In the UFC, Nickal has held a 3-0 record and only had to take fights to the second round at the latest. He most recently submitted Cody Brundage in 3:38.
Nickal was most recently rumored to fight Jacob Malkoun in early June, though he denied the fight was ever scheduled.
“I am looking to step UP in competition and move forward,” Nickal wrote. “Y’all will hopefully see me back towards the end of the summer. God bless.”
