With America 250 right around the corner, the celebration of our nation’s big day is sure to be big.
The festivities will vary widely, but one of the most talked about events is the UFC Freedom 250 card taking place on the White House lawn on Sunday.

Pak Gazette’ Sean Hannity sat down with UFC star Bo Nickal on his show “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” to talk about the day, as well as his rocket to stardom and a host of other topics.
One topic the two touched on in particular was the growing “missing boys” epidemic that is plaguing America’s youth and how it appears to lead to a destructive path for many young people across the country.

Hannity asked Nickal directly what his advice would be for young people who desperately need role models, and the young wrestler provided some surprisingly informed words of wisdom.
“They’re trying to fill a void that won’t be filled by the things they want,” Nickal explained. “The drink, the drugs, the sex, the money, the fame… and it will still be empty.”
When asked what his solution would be, Nickal turned to his faith.

“Look at your faith, look at the community. Look at the family… these are the kinds of things that have real value.”
Nickal lamented the “selfish attitude” that has seemingly permeated the younger generation of men in America, arguing that it may feel good to do things for yourself “in the moment,” but it can destroy you in the long run.
By prioritizing your faith and relationships, Nickal maintains that you will feel energized, citing John 10:10 from the Bible.
“The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. I come to bring you life so that you can live it to the fullest.”
It’s all very compelling coming from a young man (only 30) who finds himself right in the middle of the generation he’s trying to lead out of obscurity.

When Hannity, clearly impressed by his words, suggested that Nickal should mentor young men, the UFC star didn’t shy away.
“I sure have a passion for helping young men,” Nickal said. “I like talking to them about life.”
