Bo Nickal opens up about his "deal" with Donald Trump regarding UFC 309 and U.S. presidential elections

Bo Nickal recently revealed the discussion between him and President Donald Trump after the former's victory at UFC 309. Initially, Nickal paid tribute to the current US president by appreciating his love for golf before getting into the inaudible discussion.

Nickal's UFC 309 encounter ended with another victory for him. The Pennsylvania native defended his rival, Paul Craig's strikes well throughout the fight. He won the first two rounds with precise strikes, which found their way through Craig's guard.

Nickal turned up the heat in the later part of the third round. One of his strikes also opened up a cut under Craig's eye, causing all three judges to rate the fight 30-27 in Nickal's favor.

Almost every UFC fan watching Nickal's fight also witnessed his discussion with President Trump. But it was inaudible to most because of the buzzing crowd in the arena.

A recent Instagram post from Nickal detailed the matter he discussed during his dialogue with the current US president. He wrote:

"The deal was, he [Trump] won, so I had to win"
