Expect more crazy finishes and exciting fights as welterweight Niko Price will remain with the UFC for the foreseeable future.

Price recently announced on Twitter that he had signed a new four-fight deal with the Las Vegas-based promotion:

“BREAKING NEWS!!! I forgot to mention I signed a new 4 fight contract ?? I’m so blessed and thankful for the @ufc ! I’ll be sure to keep it entertaining for you guys! #ufc #newcontract #LetsGo #glorytogod.”

Price signed with the UFC in 2016 and has gone 6-3-1 since. “Hybrid” solidified himself as one of the most exciting and unpredictable fighters in that run with all of his wins coming by way of knockout or submission.

Some of his most impressive victories have come off his back with hammerfists and up kicks, the latter of which came against James Vick late last year. The fights are exciting even when he’s not winning as all 10 UFC fights involving him have failed to go the distance as well.

Price was scheduled to face Muslim Salikhov next at UFC Portland on April 11. However, the event was indefinitely postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. No new date has been announced as of yet.

Are you glad to see Price get a new UFC deal?

James Vick is slated to make the walk to the Octagon at a different weight class when he moves to welterweight to fight Niko Price. 

These two fighters are set to compete at the upcoming UFC Tampa event. A source confirmed the news to MMA Junkie following a report by Mike Heck. This marks Vick’s first fight at 170 pounds.

Vick announced the move to welterweight in July through a Facebook post after three straight losses at lightweight. He lost to Justin Gaethje by brutal knockout in August 2015 and then lost by unanimous decision to Paul Felder in February 2019. In his latest outing, he was viciously knocked out by Dan Hooker at UFC on ESPN 4 in July.

On the flip side, Price has won three of his past five bouts. In his latest fight, Price was stopped by Geoff Neal via a second-round TKO after a back-and-forth war. UFC Tampa (also known as UFC on ESPN+ 19) is set to take place on Sat., Oct. 12, 2019, from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The main and preliminary cards will air on ESPN+. 

Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson in a women’s strawweight bout will serve as the headliner of this show. The Las Vegas-based promotion will be announcing more fights in the coming weeks. Here is the updated card: 

  • Women’s strawweight bout: Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Michelle Waterson
  • Welterweight bout: Max Griffin vs. Alex Morono
  • Light heavyweight bout: Devin Clark vs. Ryan Spann
  • Flyweight bout: J.J. Aldrich vs. Lauren Mueller
  • Women’s strawweight bout: Mackenzie Dern vs. Amanda Ribas
  • Flyweight bout: Tim Elliott vs. Deiveson Figueiredo
  • Featherweight bout: Kron Gracie vs. Cub Swanson
  • Light heavyweight bout: Eryk Anders vs. Gerald Meerschaert
