BT & Sal step into the studio with UFC Middleweight star Bo Nickal ahead of his main prelim event at UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden. Nickal, an elite wrestling champion, talks about navigating the nerve-wracking emotions of fight night and how he's using his first-ever career loss as "massive motivation" for his upcoming bout. The conversation ignites when they discuss the low-key feeling of being a fighter who could "disable" anyone on the street, the debate over UFC vs. Boxing (Bo calls MMA a "complete sport"), and his thoughts on the constant temptation to fix a fight in the sport. Plus, Nickal opens up about his relationships with Kyler Murray and the late Hulk Hogan, and a surprising reveal about a potential UFC event at the White House after speaking with President Trump. Sal is so sold, he declares he's "hammering" a bet on Nickal's comeback!
