Let $G$ be a finite group, $H$ a copy of its $p$-Sylow subgroup, and $K{{\left( n \right)}^{*}}\left( - \right)$ the $n$-th Morava $K$-theory at $p$. In this paper we prove that the existence of an isomorphism between $K{{(n)}^{*}}(BG)$ and $K{{(n)}^{*}}(BH)$ is a sufficient condition for $G$ to be $p$-nilpotent.
