It’s two days after Bo Nickal earned a UFC contract and he already has his promotional debut booked. Thursday, the promotion finalized a middleweight bout between Nickal (3-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Jamie Pickett (13-8 MMA, 2-4 UFC) for UFC 282, which takes place Dec. 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie after an initial report by ESPN , but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Nickal, 28, trucked CFFC champion Donovan Beard en route to a 52-second, UFC contract-earning submission Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series. The win moved him to 3-0 in his pro MMA career with three quick, first-round finishes
