A fan claimed that putting the undefeated prospect on the main card was plain criminal: “Putting Bo on main card over jiri and sterling was just criminal”
Another had the same argument: “I’m so hyped for 300, BUT PUT BO NICKAL ON THE PRELIMS”
One fan seemed dumbstruck to witness Cody Brundage being on the main card: “Cody Brundage on the main card of ufc 300? Wow”
One more criticized the promotion for favoring Nickal and Brundage over fights featuring former champions: “UFC just slided Bo Nickal in the main card over fights like Prochazka vs Rakic & Sterling vs Kattar”
– Another had a sarcastic remark on the fight cards: “What a legendary card full of amazing fighters… and Bo and the biggest can in his division is there too.”
One was harsh with his opinion, putting the UFC on blast for “disrespectful” move: “Amazing card. But seriously putting Nickal vs Brundage on the main card is a disgrace. Especially when there’s multiple recent former champions and ranked fights on the prelims, pretty disrespectful. Again its a great card, but come on UFC, put that fight on the prelims and add Jiri vs Rakic, or Aljo vs Kattar to the main card.”
While one just stated his disbelief with Nickal being in the PPV card: “Wasn’t expecting Bo Nickal on PPV though”
Despite the little backlash, the fights on the card are second to none. Here is the list of all the fights set for UFC 300.
