UFC Prospect Bo Nickal Claims Fighting a WWE Superstar Is “Easy Money”

WWE is one of the biggest platforms of entertainment in the world. The world’s premier wrestling promotion is now set to be sold to Ari Emanuel‘s Endeavor Group, which also owns the UFC. This news has raised a lot of eyebrows on social media as questions have been bumped regarding the possible match between UFC and WWE stars. Recent octagon debutante Bo Nickal seems to have an interest in that idea.

Bo Nickal made a winning start to his UFC career after defeating Jamie Pickett at UFC 285 via submission. His win brought a lot of controversy due to an illegal strike in the groin. But those speculations have died down. Bo Nickal now reacted to the news of UFC and WWE coming together.
