  • UFC 240 Fighter to Watch: Niko Price

    Since joining the UFC in 2016, Niko “The Hybrid” Price has never gone to the judges scorecards, and is a fan favourite in what is arguably the deepest division in the promotion. His most notable wins include Tim Means, Randy Brown, and Alan Jouban, with the KO of Brown...
