Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff has officially revealed how he’s actually “squaring up” with TimTheTatman at the upcoming MFAM Gauntlet UFC event: Battle Of The Ages.
On June 10, NICKMERCS posted a cryptic tweet teasing a UFC-related event that put the Twitch streamer against the one and only TimTheTatman.
The “Battle Of The Ages” event was revealed two days later during a scheduled pay-per-view, UFC 275, leaving fans wondering if NICKMERCS and TimTheTatman were set to square up inside of the octagon.
In a YouTube video on June 14, Kolcheff revealed how he’s actually going to “square up” with TimTheTatman — quashing rumors of a potential physical fight.

He went on to explain that the duo will be “squaring up” on stage in EA Sports UFC 4, and are getting coached by actual UFC athletes.
