The MMA Hour host responded to the comical response with one of his own. He compared the vehicle to the doness of a steak and made a reference to how he likes his steak prepared, writing:

"100%. Minivans are like the well done steak of cars. This other vehicle is like that bloody stuff you eat"

Nickal is viewed by many as a fighter that could emerge as the next star in the UFC's middleweight division after this weekend's event.


Bo Nickal says he can beat anybody in the world

Bo Nickal is a highly touted prospect in the UFC middleweight division, especially considering he earned his contract through Dana White's Contender Series. He gained notoriety through his decorated collegiate wrestling career at Penn State University, where he was a three-time NCAA Div. 1 National wrestling champion.

With his exceptional collegiate wrestling background, he poses a massive threat to the top middleweights in the promotion, who are primarily strikers. During his appearance on the UFC 185 Weigh-In Show, the 27-year-old mentioned that he believes he is condient in his abilities and how he matches up with other top fighters, saying:

"For me, I believe I could beat anybody in the world and I'm always gonna think that, I'm always gonna be confident in myself. But I do have a really smart team around me with tons and tons of experience and guys that I'm very willing to listen to." [8:51 - 9:03]

It will be interesting to see how the Penn State wrestling legend performs in his UFC pay-per-view tomorrow night and if he's successful, who he plans to set his sights on next.
