Nickal responded to critics, "I like that it makes people angry"

"I like that it makes people angry. By their logic, I could also go to their place of employment and when they get a raise, I'd have to say, 'Boo, you don't deserve it, slacker.'" At the end of the day, the decision was made by league management because I probably sell more than the other guys. More people want to see me in the main card. They want more pay-per-views, so they put me in the main card. It doesn't really affect me. I would still get paid the same amount of money if I fought in the prelims," Low Kick MMA quoted Nickal as saying.
