surprised he was never offered anything but hindsight is 20/20. If he keeps winning then it’s all good
Ya I think he picks up a win on the New England scene and is back next seasonHe was looking good and got caught a beauty.
The full Dana White’s Contender Series 46 weigh-in results include:
* Borrego missed middleweight limit by 1.5 pounds; fine amount unknown
- Bo Nickal (186) vs. Zachary Borrego* (187.5)
- Jamal Pogues (248.5) vs. Paulo Renato Jr. (221)
- Erik Silva (146) vs. Anvar Boynazarov (144)
- Edgar Chairez (124.5) vs. Clayton Carpenter (125)
- Sandra Lavado (116) vs. Karolina Wojcik (115.5)
UFC didn't realize that when you get into these types of matchups like Bellator has on their prelims, these guys 25% of the time miss weight.
No idea what matchups they are gonna give Nickal in the UFC? Probably a bunch of strikers who will get taken down and then people will rave how is amazingI don't blame Borrego for missing weight considering he fought 6 weeks ago and definitely had a suspension due to some of the damage he took.
Borrego is not a bad fighter but he is still very green and definitely not ready to compete in the UFC. This is a total setup fight intended to make Nickal look good. Nickal should be facing another accomplished wrestler that has flashed some knockout power not a fighter with no wrestling background that only went professional 4 months ago.

Timestamped for face-offs:
The UFC hasn't cut Tresean Gore (3-2 MMA) or Gilbert Urbina (6-2 MMA) yet so I would guess one of them will be his first opponent. Nick Maximov or Jacob Malkoun as his second opponent since both are inferior wrestlers without knockout power. Then Andre Petroski, a wrestler with finishing ability, as his third opponent.
Petroski seems like he could be a legitimately dangerous opponent for Nickal.
Erik Silva? Kids a prospect alright but isn't he a little young even for DWCS?
