Bo Nickal secured another finish when he submitted Cody Brundage in Round 2 of their UFC 300 main card opener, but drew some mixed reactions from fans.

It seems that the American was unimpressed with his performance as he gave himself two thumbs down immediately after his stoppage win.

There was much expectation placed upon Nickal before this weekend, with Brundage marked as the biggest underdog in UFC history at +1120.

The 28-year-old admitted during his post-fight interview that he was frustrated with himself for allowing his opponent to have brief moments of resistance during their fight, as Nickal hoped he would run through

The former 2x NCAA Div. 1 champion is one of the most touted prospects to enter the UFC in recent years, and he no doubt felt the pressure to deliver a spectacular performance on the promotion's historic card.

Former Bellator MMA fighter Dillon Danis was also on hand to share his thoughts on Nickal's UFC 300 showing and stated that he would have his way with the young prospect if they fought.

He took to X and wrote this:

"I'll kill Bo in one."
"Putting him on the main card is embarrassing."

There was much uproar from fans following the promotion's announcement that Nickal would feature on the main card. It seems that his victory has done little to convince fans, and Danis, that his placement was deserved.
