Ryan Wohl details his best bet for Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus at tonight’s UFC Freedom 250 card.
In the second fight of tonight’s UFC Freedom 250 card, two rising Middleweights, Bo Nickal and Kyle Daukaus, will face each other. Daukaus, 33, is 17-4 with 14 finishes and is currently on a six-fight winning streak, while Nickal is coming off an impressive knockout over Rodolfo Vieira at UFC 322 in November 2025.
Check out my best bet for Bo Nickal vs. Kyle Daukaus at today’s UFC Freedom 250 event.
Nickal is a former National Champion and Big Ten Champion in collegiate wrestling and entered MMA with tremendous hype. He began his MMA career 7-0 with six finishes and looked untouchable. That was until he suffered a devastating knockout loss to Reinier de Ridder in May 2025. But Nickal proved he can take a tough loss and bounce back.
Daukaus is currently in his second stint in the UFC and has won his previous two fights in the promotion by first-round finish. He first competed in the UFC from June 2020 to December 2022, going 2-4 with one no-contest. After leaving the UFC in 2022, Daukaus appears to have improved his skill set and now looks like a dangerous opponent at 185 pounds.
In this contest, Nickal is a -310 favorite with Daukaus being the underdog at +250 on DraftKings Sportsbook. This bout has an over/under of 1.5 rounds, with the over at -165 and the under being +130. Although Daukaus has more experience, Nickal is the better all-around fighter. Even though he isn’t known as a striker, Nickal still averages more significant strikes per minute (3.35 vs. 3.32) while being more accurate (61% vs. 53%). Also on the ground, Nickal lands more takedowns (3.10 vs. 2.08) while having a 30 percent advantage in takedown accuracy. Nickal’s confidence should be at an all-time high heading into this contest after his previous win. Since seven of Nickal’s wins have come by finish, I’m taking him to win by knockout or submission at -110.
