The 2023 Panini Instant UFC #56 Rookie RC, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, is his certified-perfect debut card in the UFC's official trading card product — the documentation of the moment that the MMA world got a first look at what the elite wrestling program in State College, Pennsylvania had produced.

His decision to attend Penn State placed him inside the most decorated collegiate wrestling program in the country — a program that under head coach Cael Sanderson has dominated the NCAA championships for more than a decade and produced more Olympic and professional combat sports athletes than any comparable program in the country.

Penn State's wrestling dynasty provided Nickal with the competitive environment to develop not just the grappling base that every elite MMA prospect needs but the mental framework for winning high-stakes athletic competitions at the highest level.

His submissions, his physical dominance on the ground, and the continuing improvement of his striking gave him a profile that the UFC recognized as something worth building a promotional story around — the elite wrestler who arrived in the most visible combat sports organization in the world with credentials that commanded attention before a single professional MMA fight had been contested.
