Coria entered with two UFC wins already on his record, while Nicoll was chasing his first victory inside the promotion after an 0-3 start. The result moved Coria to 13-3 and Nicoll to 8-4.
Coria Had To Work Through Nicoll’s Wrestling First
Coria pressed forward early and found uppercuts in the opening round, but Nicoll answered with level changes and forced grappling exchanges. Coria worked back up and kept landing when there was space, while Nicoll’s takedowns made the first five minutes competitive.
The second round paused briefly after a low blow from Coria, then returned to the same pattern. Nicoll attacked the legs and chased clinch positions, while Coria did the cleaner visible damage when he created space along the fence.
Coria’s cleanest early strike came on an uppercut in Round 1.

Coria won by unanimous decision, with two judges giving him all three rounds. Nicoll scored another takedown in the third, but Coria answered with front-choke looks, returned to his feet, and landed the cleaner late exchanges.
That makes it three straight UFC wins for Coria and two victories in 2026. The 4oz. Fight Club product has moved from newcomer to active flyweight streak, especially with fighters like Joshua Van keeping the division’s prospect tier busy.
Nicoll is now 0-4 in the UFC. Coria did not get the quick finish that RJ Harris found earlier at UFC Oklahoma City, but he handled the wrestling questions across 15 minutes and kept his flyweight run moving.
