Bo Nickal earned his UFC contract with back-to-back first-round submission wins on Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) last year. 'The Allen Assassin' was initially scheduled to make his debut against Jamie Pickett at UFC 282 in December but pulled out citing an injury. The fight has now been rebooked for UFC 285 in March.
Raul Rosas Jr. earned his UFC contract at the age of seventeen with a dominant decision win over Mando Gutierrez on DWCS last year. 'El Nino Problema' further added to the hype behind him by submitting Jay Perrin within three minutes of his promotional debut at UFC 282.
Jamahal Hill reveals issues with his UFC 4 character
Jamahal Hill recently scored a huge upset win over Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 to be crowned the new UFC light heavyweight champ. 'Sweet Dreams' was subsequently added to the UFC 4 roster along with surging Brazilian women's strawweight Amando Lemos.
While Hill was given a four-star rating in the game, Lemos came in with four and a half stars.
The light heavyweight champ recently revealed certain issues that have stopped him from playing UFC 4 with his own character so far. Hill first expressed his grouse at the makers for taking too long to include him.
'Sweet Dreams' is also seemingly unhappy with the stats his character was alloted. Hill said in a recent interview with Helen Yee:
"Nope... Took too long to put me in the game. I'm petty. I'm sorry, but I'm petty. Also, there are some stat issues, the hand speed ain't right, and the defense ain't right. You gotta put more respect on the champ's name before I hop on and spend some time on the sticks with it."
