LAS VEGAS – UFC president Dana White believes in Bo Nickal ’s abilities as a fighter, but still wasn’t ready to give him a UFC contract on Tuesday evening. In the feature bout of Dana White’s Contender Series 49 , Nickal stepped into the cage for the second time as a professional fighter and made quick work of his opponent Zack Borrego, tapping him with a rear-naked choke in just over a minute. Typically, that sort of performance is almost a guarantee for a UFC contract on DWCS, however, Nickal’s lack of experience as a pro gave White pause when it came time to issue contracts at the end of the show. “He’s 1-0, 2-0 now, fought a kid that was 3-0, made it look really easy,” White told reporters including MMA Junkie at the post-fight news conference. “Let’s get him one more fight and let’s test him.
