Hulk Hogan‘s Real American Freestyle Wrestling has signed a popular MMA Star to the promotion.
It was announced earlier this year that WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff were joining forces once again to open a brand new wrestling promotion, and they have officially added another big name to their roster.
The MMA fighter is none other than Bo Nickal. The 29-year-old from State College, Pennsylvania. He has a record of two wins and zero losses in his amateur career. Nickal turned pro back in 2022. Up until last year, he remained undefeated with scoring seven straight victories.
Last year, Nickal suffered his first and only loss to the Dutch Knight, Reinier de Ridder, via TKO. Now, it looks like Nickal is looking to test his luck in Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff’s Real American Freestyle Wrestling.
While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Nickal revealed that he will be entering the world of wrestling via Real American Freestyle next month.
“I’m gonna be pursuing something new, pursuing something different that’s maybe a little bit foreign to a lot of the MMA fans that listen to this show. But there’s this lesser-known sport called wrestling — it’s a really great base for professional MMA.
“I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring and doing some professional wrestling matches with Real American Freestyle promotion. So, Aug. 30, I’ll be competing in Cleveland, Ohio, and putting the singlet and shoes on and seeing how it goes. I’m excited,” Bo Nickal said. [H/T Sherdog]
Real American Freestyle Wrestling’s debut event will take place on August 30 in Cleveland.
