Bo Nickal reacts to Donald Trump's acknowledgement of him on Joe Rogan's podcast
Bo Nickal recently voiced his feelings about Donald Trump acknowledging him as a UFC fighter during the ex-POTUS's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. Trump also specified he would look forward to the Pennsylvanian's next in-octagon encounter.
Nickal was a household name in American Collegiate wrestling before he even signed for UFC. However, his induction into the MMA promotion caused another massive surge in his popularity, so much so that even Trump couldn't refrain from noticing him.
Previously Nickal revealed he had a meeting with The Trump Organization's head honcho in July where they also went for a round of golf. But during episode no. 2219 of JRE, Trump shared his enthusiasm about wishing to watch Nickal fight live.
The 28-year-old was elated that Trump wanted to witness his next fight. He put out an Instagram post thanking the 78-year-old for acknowledging him and expressing his desire to watch him fight. Its caption read:
"Thank you Mr.President 🇺🇸"
Donald Trump also lauded Bo Nickal during his appearance on Logan Paul's podcast
Donald Trump graced the stage of several famous podcasts in the last few months. Currently, people may be talking about his appearance on JRE, but Logan Paul was the first podcaster to have Trump on his show.
Trump showcased his appreciation for Nickal during his appearance on Impaulsive as well. He labeled Nickal as one fighter he thought would have a "great" career in the UFC. Trump said:
"There's somebody named Bo Nickal who I think is gonna be a great. He's a fighter [I look forward to]. He was an All-American [champion], I think probably four-time [actually three-time], I'm not even sure. He went to Penn State [Pennsylvania State University] and he's phenomenal as a fighter."
