Dana White and Joe Rogan Reprimand Bo Nickal After UFC 300 Antics Despite Winning Against Cody Brundage

What is more noteworthy than witnessing two world-class wrestlers have their way in the UFC? UFC 300 witnessed a clash between two grappling heavy fighters who employed their everything to keep the other opponent down. Bo Nickal and Cody Brundage fought at the grand night to establish their name in the realms of the middleweight division.

Nickal and Brundage started the round with a blast. The duo fought each other with everything they had: strikes, grappling, and even Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was involved. However, despite the hard-fought match, only one of them emerged victorious and it was Nickal whose hands were raised after the match and seems like Joe Rogan and Dana White had something to say to the middleweight fighter at the end.

Bo Nickal’s victory at UFC 300 saw some uncertainty from Dana White

Cody Brundage started his endeavor in the match by hastily moving towards Bo Nickal to strike the undefeated fighter, however, Nickal maintained his sweet distance from Brundage. The inaugural round had some action as it had some nasty kicks and punches from both the fighters but after the initial round, there was very little action from either of the fighters.

In the end, Nickal pushed Brundage down and employed his wrestling skills and BJJ to wrestle him. Finally, he submitted Brundage for the win. Regardless, it seems like it was not enough for Joe Rogan and Dana White. After winning the bout, Nickal immediately headed over to the cage side where Dana White and Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg were sitting and after having a conversation with them he seemed a bit gloomy.

In his conversation with Joe Rogan, Nickal asserted that he was not content with his win. “I’m a little bit embarrassed with that performance. I expect to go out there and completely dominate this guy and shut him out. I gave him too many opportunities. At the same time, I’m grateful because I did get to get past the first round. A few seconds removed, it was kind of ideal because I was able to have that appearance under my belt.” said Nickal.

However as he was going towards his dressing room the UFC head honcho, White had a long 90-second conversation with the undefeated wrestler. Nothing is clear it about what White said to him, however, from the looks it can be understood that White was trying to cheer him up.
