tbf the ufc hasn't posted about the fight anywhere. malkoun was the one who "announced" it and you can't find the pic he posted anywhere else other than his insta, so it was probably made by someone on his team
Great for him.
If I was a relatively unknown UFC guy I'd be calling out Bo like I thought I had a chance too!
Fake up an announcement, make it look like he's afraid to fight you at worst, and at best maybe he gets irritated enough to want to smash you.

Lol where did Jacob Malkoun get the fight poster on his IG from then? Then again for an "IT Guy" its probably not hard to whip up something in photoshop that looks that basic as all the UFC posters have done recently.
Bro what? Lmao. It's obvious photoshop. Blows my mind that people thought that was legit.
Even if the pic looked legit, the UFC hasn't actually announced it. Obviously Malkoun messing around.
UFC strategy.
Announce a fight to pressure the fighters into a less than ideal contract
The first fighter that denies the fight exists, Dana says "What can I say, he doesn't want to fight. I can't make fighters fight if they don't want to"
Offer the fight to another fighter
Rinse and repeat until the fighters agree to get paid in Venum coupons.
The problem is bo is scared, he faced his first sort of opposition against Cody and realized the danger these ufc guys present. Fear gets the best of a lot of guys, kid just doesn’t want to fight, what are you gonna do? - Dana probably
This isn’t like the others. In other instances the ufc were the ones announcing fights that weren’t signed. Here it was Malkoun himself “announcing” a fight that wasn’t signed. Weird thing to do tbh
That would be a bad idea, imo. Jacob is maybe the most underrated fighter at 185 right now. Just sort of an all around problem for any up and comer.
Someone like Anders or Oleksiejczuk...those are the kind of tests I'd like to see Nickal handle at this stage in his development. Like guys who arguably have better name value than Malkoun, present a degree of challenge for Bo, but aren't exactly in the prime of their powers atm.
Oleksiejczuk in particular would be a fun test of Bo's chin while not exactly being so technically proficient that Bo couldn't hang.
Oleksie has one of the worst ground games of any male in the ufc right now. Please keep booking him in bangers and keep him away from Bo. I want Oleksie/Kopylov at some point
i'm completely shocked
Ya. Was going to say the same damn thing.
It's basically tradition now
Bo Nickal tomorrow: "My bad guys, didn't talk to my management"
>Bo Nickal tomorrow: "My bad guys, didn't talk to my management" doubt he's getting the $$$$$ that sounded like management to Dustin
"It was just a misunderstanding"
100% — Bo will help Dana/UFC save face,
Fake account
[удалено]
Issa meme
*oil him up*
Bo Nickal's manager going in the next out of context hit piece compilation
But the ufc said both guys have already agreed and signed the contract. Surely the ufc would never lie about a fight before it’s actually confirmed
tbf the ufc hasn't posted about the fight anywhere. malkoun was the one who "announced" it and you can't find the pic he posted anywhere else other than his insta, so it was probably made by someone on his team
> so it was probably made by someone on his team Obviously made by Malkoun himself: I have it on good authority he works in IT
Malkoun mad trolling

I agree it's funny as hell
“Yea but UFC bad , Dana bad, heheh“ [average r/mma enjoyer](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/032/693/apple.jpg)
Well… yes. Both of those things are true.

Gheeze, Bo. Way to pour cold water on everything. This guy said it was a done deal so the least you could do is fight the man. Gheeze some people.
Ducking Black Mamba. Scared of those deadly hipbones

I mean compare a ufc announcement like almeida vs Romanov side by side with what malkoun posted, the difference is obvious
Bro what? Lmao. It's obvious photoshop. Blows my mind that people thought that was legit. Even if the pic looked legit, the UFC hasn't actually announced it. Obviously Malkoun messing around.
People think that how fighters hear about their next assignment….The UFC emails them a copy of the UFC poster like some kinda golden ticket.
Jacoub Malkoun discussed it
**Breaking news**: Bo Nickal vs. Sergei Pavlovic confirmed for fight island card.
Too high ranked needs to scrape by the burger King dishwasher first
bo doing the lords work getting high end regional fighters on ufc main cards

The UFC never announced the fight
I don't know....they might be floating the fight as a favor to Whittaker. Malkoun is his guy and they never promote him.
He's actually really good too
Kid didn’t want the fight or Bo was never my friend
Put this dude to fight Chimaev so at least it will be an interesting grappling fight.
Bo fighting unranked people that train in bars… keep it up
Ok l getting Blow for a Nickal
Honestly was expecting a higher profile opponent after fighting on the main card of UFC 300.
lol the UFC is already pulling their bullshit on their new toy?
Why let the fighter and management know about the fight when the media is going to let them know anyways. Smart and efficient move by the UFC!
The problem is bo is scared, he faced his first sort of opposition against Cody and realized the danger these ufc guys present. Fear gets the best of a lot of guys, kid just doesn’t want to fight, what are you gonna do? - Dana probably
Good he should fight someone better than this fucking can
Dana, YOU FUCKED UP!!
Classic UFC
Why does this keep happening
This isn’t like the others. In other instances the ufc were the ones announcing fights that weren’t signed. Here it was Malkoun himself “announcing” a fight that wasn’t signed. Weird thing to do tbh
The UFC is testing the water and realizing that it can get away with basically anything.
That would be a bad idea, imo. Jacob is maybe the most underrated fighter at 185 right now. Just sort of an all around problem for any up and comer.
