UFC middleweight and three-time NCAA Division-1 champion, Bo Nickal, will defend his light heavyweight title against BKFC can crusher and UFC veteran, Yoel Romero, as part of the upcoming Real American Freestyle (RAF) 4 wrestling event on Sat., Dec. 20, 2025 from inside Fishers Event Center in Fishers, Indiana.
Nickal, fresh off his knockout win over Rodolfo Vieira at UFC 322, captured the crown by defeating Jacob Cardenas at RAF 1 last August. As for Romero, this marks the first RAF appearance for “Soldier of God” but the Cuban is no stranger to the mats, having captured a silver medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Romero is 19 years older than Nickal at 48.
Also putting in work at RAF 4 is former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. “Remember the Name” will be trying to forget the results of his last two UFC fights when he collides with two-time NCAA Division-1 freestyle champion and reigning RAF welterweight titleholder David Carr.
Carr, 11 years younger than Muhammad at 26, defeated Amr Reda Hussen at RAF 2 just a few weeks back.
