It’s not every day that you get to be a part of the Joe Rogan Experience. However, the 27-year-old Nickal finally made it to the podcast and was excited about the opportunity he would get at UFC 300. On JRE MMA Show #151, Nickal said he initially wanted to fight at UFC 299 on March 9 in Miami. However, when the opportunity to participate at the historic UFC 300 arrived, he couldn’t let it pass.
The former college wrestler has impressed one and all with his last outings in the UFC and will look to keep his winning momentum going. The 27-year-old started his MMA training just three years ago and is already taking giant leaps in the division. UFC 300 will mark Nickal’s longest hiatus since making his UFC debut in early 2022.

Which other fights will be featured at UFC 300?
UFC CEO Dana White announced the first three official fights of UFC 300 on social media on Thursday. One fight will feature former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka taking on Aleksandar Rakic. In a surprise announcement, former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will be moving up to featherweight to fight Calvin Kattar.
