Bo Nickal and Raul Rosas Jr., who previously appeared on Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS), will now be available as characters in the UFC 4 video game. As the game was 2-3 years old the management decided to include these 2 youngsters in the game.
Earlier to answer the question of whether fighter Raul Rosas Jr in UFC game inclusion is a rumor or not, the UFC president had promised to include one of the DWCS winners in the UFC 4 video game as a special reward. When it was time to choose, Dana White asked fans to vote for their favorite between Bo Nickal and Raul Rosas Jr.
According to an interview with Laura Sanko, Dana White revealed that he had asked fans to vote for their favorite fighter on social media. However, the poll results on different platforms were not consistent as Rosas Jr. was winning on one platform, while Nickal was leading on the other. Instead of choosing just one, White decided to add both fighters to the UFC 4 video game.
