Collaboration Between NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman Revealed

Esports fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the collaboration between Nicholas “NICKMERCS” Kolcheff and Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar at the 10th Annual UFC International Fight Week. However, it seems that their participation in the event will not involve stepping into the ring or the octagon to fight physically.

Instead, the collaboration will take place in the virtual octagon of EA SPORTS UFC 4. This exciting showdown will happen on stage in front of a live audience. Furthermore, both NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman will receive coaching from actual UFC athletes during the fight.

Virtual Battle Spills Over to Apex Legends

Following their competition in EA SPORTS UFC 4, NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman will continue their battle in Apex Legends Arenas mode. They will participate in a series of three versus three battles alongside guests, including FaZe duo Kalei and Nio. These matches will be fought for a slice of the MFAM Showdown prize pool.

Excitement and Collaboration

NICKMERCS, a passionate UFC fan, expressed his excitement about collaborating with the UFC and bringing together the gaming and fighting communities. He shared his enthusiasm about bridging the gap between gaming and MMA, stating that he is thrilled to be a part of this unique opportunity.

The event is set to kick off on July 1 and will act as a prelude to the highly anticipated UFC 276 event, featuring two championship fights: Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier and Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway.
