Bo Nickal became the last unbeaten prospect to lose his 0 after a shock result at UFC des Moines.
Since he came to the UFC, Bo Nickal has been emphasized as an almost guaranteed future champion in the promotion, largely because of his decorated college thrust background.
In his last fight, fans somewhat the unbeaten prospect went on after he was unable to finish veteran Paul Craig and scrape a victory.
He hoped to get the fans on his side again at UFC des Moines with an impressive version against Reinier de Ridder.

Fans respond to the shock of Bo Nickal UFC des Moines loss
Nevertheless, Nickal suffered a shocking ko -loss of the second round after the knight had landed a huge knee on his body and had it sinks to the canvas.
“Fraud checked: Bo Nickal,” the controversial, Dillon Danis responded.
“I can't believe that this happened. Bo Nickal in the struggle in his hand and then broke him through the conflict. RDR is awkwardly special,” another fan noted.
“Khamzat would receive the death penalty for the things he would do to do Bo Nickal in the Octagon,” said a third fan.
Nickal previously stated that he would beat Khamzat Chimaev in a potentially future fight, which is awkwardly outdated for the American wrestler.
“Bo Nickal should be in the federal f— prison because he thinks he can be with Khamzat,” another fan noted.
Chimaev is apparently the next one in line to fight for the middleweight title against Dricus du Plessis after Dana White recently gave a positive update about the fight.
What is the next step for Bo Nickal after shock loss?
Although he has suffered the first loss of his career, Nickal is still extremely young in his MMA career and he can undoubtedly bounce back.
Despite the fact that he fights in the vicinity of the top of the division, Nickal will now have to fight again outside the ranking, before he may earn a shot on a ranked opponent again.
A fight against someone like Gregory Rodrigues or Chris Curtis can be logical for the 29-year-old next.
