Trump marveled at size difference between Bo Nickal and Paul Craig, UFC president Dana White says

‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ co-hosts react to President-elect Donald Trump’s appearance at the UFC fight in Madison Square Garden. 

Dana White revealed in the post UFC 309 press conference on Saturday night that President-elect Trump was surprised at the size difference between Bo Nickal and Paul Craig.

Nickal defeated Craig via unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden in a middleweight fight. Fans in the arena booed Nickal and chanted "overrated" at the former NCAA Division 1 national champion. He improved his professional MMA record to 7-0 and 6-0 since he joined White’s Contender Series in 2022.

White was asked about Nickal and relayed the president-elect’s thoughts.

"We’ve had these discussions with Bo," White said, via Audacy. "You know, Bo needs work. Bo’s an up-and-coming guy. I know he has big aspirations and wants to move faster than he should. Tonight showed… He still dominated him, I mean he won the whole fight. But he’s got work to do.

"When you’re in a position like Bo is, there’s a lot of expectations. Did you see the size of Craig? That guy’s a f---ing monster. The president looked at me and said, ‘These guys are in the same weight class?’ Because he loves Bo Nickal, so. I said, ‘Yeah they are.’ It’s crazy."
