UFC 300: Bo Nickal Reacts to Critics of Main Card Fight - 'People Wanna See Me'

The unbeaten fighter has only been scheduled for Pay-Per-View events in the UFC.

Bo Nickal isn't bothered by how some fans have reacted to the news that his bout with Cody Brundage will take place on the main card of UFC 300.

One of the hottest prospects to ever join the UFC, Nickal signed with the promotion following a pair of submission wins on Dana White’s Contender Series and is now 5-0 as a professional after he defeated Jamie Pickett and Val Woodburn last year.

The 28-year-old is now set to meet Cody Brundage at UFC 300 on April 13, and Nickal has apparently gotten a kick out of seeing some fans object to the fact that his third UFC bout will feature on the PPV main card of such a massive event.

“I don’t really care to be honest, I could fight wherever,” Nickal said on his YouTube channel. “I like that it makes people mad, I think that’s so funny. ‘You don’t deserve it.' Okay, thank you…I should go to their job and [when] they get a raise, I should be like ‘Boo, boo you don’t deserve it. You don’t deserve it you bum. You’ve only been working here two years.’”

Both of Nickal’s previous UFC appearances took place on PPV cards at UFC 285 and UFC 290, and at the end of the day the unbeaten fighter believes the promotion wants him to help sell a card that fight fans have been looking forward to for months.

“The decision was made because I probably sell more. More people wanna see me. Why would they put me there unless more people wanna see me? Because at the end of the day, the most-watched spot is the prelims at the end, the main prelim…Reality is they wanna sell more PPVs, so they put me on the PPV.”

Part of the fan backlash at Nickal’s inclusion on the UFC 300 main card is due to the fact that the event’s prelims feature several of the promotion’s former champions, including the return of Jiří Procházka and Aljamain Sterling's featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar.

The UFC 300 main card includes three title bouts as well as a supposed number one contender bout between former lightweight titleholder Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan to go along with Nickal vs. Brundage, and even if some fans believe the card isn’t quite what UFC CEO Dana White promised the attention of the entire combat sports world will be centered on the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas come April 13.
