Bo Nickal's UFC debut could not have gone much better for the first three-time NCAA champion.

The legendary Penn State wrestler on Saturday began his UFC debut and picked up the fourth straight win to start his MMA career by making Jamie Pickett submit in a middleweight bout for UFC 285 in Las Vegas.
