Trump admires Bo
Speaking during his recent appearance on The JRE podcast, Trump asked Joe Rogan about what’s next for Nickal in the UFC. When the UFC commentator informed him that Nickal will be fighting at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, the former POTUS got a bit hyped up and revealed his plan to come to the fight after the U.S. Presidential elections.
“Bo Nickal, he’s a great fighter. How’s he gonna do? I think he’s terrific. He’s almost like, undefeated in college. When is he fighting again? That’s gonna be interesting, after the election [UFC 309]? So, I’ll either go as president, or I’ll be depressed and I won’t bother going,” Trump said during his conversation with Rogan.
