Bo Nickal Makes His MMA Debut With a Knockout

Bo Nickal has announced

he's the decent wrestler ever to enter MMA.

The Penn State legend didn't require long to begin testing his theory.

Nickal, a three-time NCAA wrestling victor,

WON HIS INITIAL PROFESSIONAL OUTBREAK.

Nickal plunged John Noland in

first round of his first middleweight battle.

Nickal swapped a 2-0 amateur MMA record to his proficient debut,

which commemorated an ornate wrestling pursuit.

But after the extensively lately Olympic cycle ended...

Nickal said he was willing to funnel his vigour elsewhere.

Nickal's foray into MMA arrives a little over a year ...

AFTER HIS NOTABLE U.S. OLYMPIC TRIALS BATTLE

AGAINST FELLOW PRIOR NITTANY LION DAVID TAYLOR.

Taylor and Nickal met last year in the 86 kg freestyle

ultimate at the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials.

Taylor cruised the best-of-three series

TO REAP A TRIP TO THE TOKYO GAMES, WHERE HE CAME TO BE

FIRST PENN STATE WRESTLER TO BEAT AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL.
