Get ready for a rematch that's sure to ignite the wrestling world! Yoel Romero and Bo Nickal are set to clash again, this time at RAF 5. After a dominant performance by Romero at RAF 4, where he secured a tech fall victory over Pat Downey, fans are buzzing for this highly anticipated bout. But, this time, the stakes are even higher. The event is scheduled for January 10th in Sunrise, Florida, and will be streamed exclusively on FOX Nation.
Originally, the match was slated for the RAF 4 card, but Nickal was unexpectedly withdrawn. Now, they're back on track, promising a showdown you won't want to miss.
Romero, known as the 'Soldier of God,' is gearing up for a packed start to 2026. He's also headlining BKFC's KnuckleMania 6 event in February, where he'll face Lorenzo Hunt. Talk about a busy schedule!
Now, let's talk about Nickal. This UFC middleweight is returning to his wrestling roots after a recent, brutal knockout at UFC 322. Nickal boasts an impressive wrestling background, having been a three-time NCAA National Champion at Penn State. He then transitioned to MMA after missing out on the 2020 Olympic team. His MMA record stands at 8-1, including a 5-1 record in the UFC.
RAF 5 is already shaping up to be a must-see event, with Colby Covington vs. Luke Rockhold headlining the card. This is an exciting pairing that will bring together the best of both worlds.
