During an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show,” Nickal revealed that he spoke to President Donald Trump about competing on the UFC’s White House event scheduled for June 2026.
“I’m planning on being on that card. That’s history. That’s exciting. That’s something I feel like I would be ecstatic and grateful to be a part of,” Nickal said. “I’ve got to take care of business. I’ve talked with President Trump; he wants me on the card. I’m sure that if things line up, we’ll make it happen.”
TV Appearance Set Stage for Impromptu Phone Call
How exactly did Nickal connect with Trump? According to the former three-time NCAA national champion wrestler, the U.S. President decided to give Nickal a ring when he saw the UFC middleweight on “Fox & Friends” talk show.
“I was on Fox promoting the [Real American Freestyle] event. He obviously watches that — I was on Fox and Friends. He called me up and sent me some encouragement,” Nickal said. “We talked about the card for a second. I told him that I want to get on it and he said, ‘Done deal.’ Him and Dana [White] are obviously very close. If he puts a good word on my behalf, then it’s probably putting me in a good position.”
