UFC 335: Oliveira vs. Lopes · Dec 12, 2026
DarkHorse Pick
Bo Nickal to win · Submission · Round 2
Bo Nickal brings an elite wrestling pedigree with a 9-1 record that includes multiple first-round finishes, primarily by submission. While Joe Pyfer holds a more experienced 16-3 record with knockout power, Nickal's grappling dominance and ability to control where the fight takes place gives him a clear path to victory. Pyfer's losses have come against high-level competition, but Nickal's wrestling should allow him to dictate pace, secure takedowns, and hunt for a finish on the ground. The combination of Nickal's submission threat and Pyfer's vulnerability to elite grapplers favors a second-round submission.
