With the first round of UFC 300 announcements finally coming in, fans are excited about the iconic event. UFC CEO Dana White announced some of the fights set for the April event, and Bo Nickal will be in action against Cody Brundage. Nickal recently appeared in the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, sharing his thought process regarding UFC 300.
The 27-year-old middleweight last competed in July and has been waiting to return to the Octagon. He took to his Instagram to share the news of his latest podcast with Joe Rogan, and the fans looked super excited for the newest episode.
Fans celebrate UFC 300’s Bo Nickal’s maiden appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience
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.
On Thursday, two big announcements featuring Nickel dropped. One was his UFC 300 fight and the other, hours before White’s announcement, was his JRE appearance. The fans on Instagram were happy with the turn of events and let it be known under an IG post. Let us take a look at some of the comments below.
One of the fans commented:
‘Was starting to think this wasn’t gunna air lol’
Another fan looked very excited about the podcast and commented:
‘Hell yeah! Can’t wait to listen!’
One fan commented:
‘This is awesome’
Another fan looked all ready for the podcast
‘Let’s gooo’
Some other comments include
‘Been waiting for this one baby’
‘This is so American’
‘Top of the food chain’
Bo Nickal has been unbeaten in his last five outings and has a career record 5-0-0 with a 2-0 record in the UFC. He last fought against Val Woodburn at UFC 290 and ended the fight via knockout in the first round. The 6-foot-1 Southpaw will look to keep his winning momentum going when he steps into the Octagon against Cody Brundage. Fortunately for the fans, this is not the only fight to be excited about.

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.
Sterling had been teasing a move up to featherweight even before he dropped his bantamweight title in August. Now, he is finally getting his wish at the triple century event of the UFC. Meanwhile for Prochazka, the road to redemption and his old 205 lbs title, goes through Rakic.
The much-awaited comeback of Conor McGregor at UFC 300 is still under question, as an announcement has yet to be made. While fans eagerly wait for McGregor to return, Nickal and the rest will look to seal another win at the marquee event. What are your thoughts on the first UFC 300 announcement?
