As soon as this update began circulating on social media platforms, it caught the attention of many celebrated stars. One of them was adult film actress Kendra Lust.

She penned a three-word message to support the middleweight contender. She dropped a comment on a post saying, “Bo knows MMA,” which was talking about Bo Nickal.

Along with her, many combat other sports fans expressed their disagreement with White’s decision.

Why did Dana White refuse to sign Bo Nickal?

White’s Contender Series 49 brought two contenders to Octagon to decide the fighter name who would be worthy of getting a UFC contract. In the process, the 1-0 Nickal stepped inside the cage to lock horns with Zack Borrego.

As soon as the bell’s sound echoed in the arena, both fighters pressed to take over. Interestingly, Nickal, the quicker of two, grappled the opponent in the initial seconds, neutralizing the offense of the latter. While trying to escape Nickal’s strike, Borrego committed a blunder. Nickal got an opportunity of taking a hold of Borrego’s neck. A few seconds later, Nickal forced the latter to tap with a rear-naked choke. The opponent could not survive for over a minute.

Nickal’s command of skills was enough to clinch the UFC contract as an award, but all his hopes were shattered when the UFC President denied signing him on the grounds of experience.

Nickal came in with a boosting record at Penn State University. The hype he get was pretty intense because he has already sparred with star UFC fighters like Jorge Masvidal. However, he could not impress White enough to win the UFC contract.
