There's been a lot of questions about who Israel Adesanya could face at UFC 293 in the promotion's return to Sydney in September with all of the middleweight bouts on the books, but could Bo Nickal be one of the names in play should he get a quick finish of Tresean Gore at UFC 290? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses that possibility after the question is proposed by special guest caller Eric "New York Ric" Jackman, and talk whether or not the UFC would give Nickal that opportunity so quickly in his promotional run.

Jared Cannonier delivered one of the best performances of his career in his main event victory over Marvin Vettori at Saturday's UFC Vegas 75.

Conor McGregor’s career could be in jeopardy following sexual assault accusations stemming from an alleged incident that took place at the NBA Finals in Miami last Friday. This isn’t the first time that McGregor’s name has been tied to such allegations, so could this be the incident that forces the UFC to make a decision on his fighting future?
