Bo Nickal made the most of his opportunity on Dana White’s Contender Series this past Tuesday in Las Vegas, but how high can he go in the UFC’s middleweight division?
On an all new episode of Heck of a Morning MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck discusses Nickal’s submission victory on DWCS this week and White’s decision not to sign him immediately — even though it is pretty clear what’s going on here — as well as why the whole situation seemed a little strange. In addition, listener topics include the Marlon Vera vs. Dominick Cruz headliner this Saturday at UFC San Diego and why it seems as if Cruz is being completely counted out by fans, Erin Blanchfield vs. Molly McCann being booked for UFC 281, whether or not that means Paddy Pimblett will compete on the card as well, Islam Makhchev’s recent comments, and more.
You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET at the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
