It’s wild how so many big names from the UFC gathered under one roof to support someone who’s always been a major figure in the combat sports world. From Conor McGregor to Dana White, they showed up at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, not just as stars, but as a tight-knit community that understands the power of spectacle. During this event, Tim Kennedy joined forces with Jon Jones and Georges St-Pierre during a UFC event, where he discussed the future of the middleweight division.
After the event, the UFC veteran and actor shared a photo featuring Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, and Bo Nickal. In the background, you could spot notable figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Charlie Kirk, adding to the star power of the moment. This scene perfectly captured the surreal blend of UFC legends, tech moguls, and political figures gathered under one roof for Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.
With the post, Kennedy predicted Bo Nickal, the highly touted wrestling prodigy, would be the next Middleweight UFC Champion. This prediction highlighted Nickal’s potential, considering his background and rapid rise within the MMA world.
He wrote, “The GOAT welterweight champion. The next middleweight champion. The GOAT champion. We also have Mark Zuckerberg and Charlie Kirk in the background so that’s kind of weird.”

Jones and GSP had impressive UFC careers, but the big question is whether Nickal can prove Kennedy right and become the next big star. He’s already a fan favorite and even Trump’s favorite fighter. It will be exciting to see what’s next for him.
Bo Nickal Reveals His Plan For Khamzat Chimaev UFC Fight
Bo Nickal recently had a conversation with Chael Sonnen on his YouTube channel about a dream fight with Khamzat Chimaev. Nickal shared his plan to keep up the pressure, create chaos, and drag the fight into the later rounds where he thinks he’ll have the edge. He’s super confident in his wrestling, saying there’s no one at 86 kilos who can out-wrestle him. While he knows Chimaev’s good, Nickal believes his opponent will struggle with stamina, especially when it comes to going the distance with someone like him.
