NEW YORK – Dana White thinks Bo Nickal needs to slow his role after UFC 309. Nickal (7-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) remained unbeaten when he outstruck Paul Craig (17-9-1 MMA, 9-9-1 UFC) on Saturday’s main card at Madison Square Garden – the first time he goes to the judges’ scorecards.

Despite a chorus of boos from the Madison Square Garden crowd for the lack of sustained action and even chants of "overrated," former three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion Bo Nickal took an important step forward on Saturday in his burgeoning MMA career.
