UFC 253 just keeps getting better and better as the UFC continues adding big names to it. The most recent names of which are Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Niko ‘The Hybrid’ Price, who will square off against one another in a welterweight bout.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN broke the news on social media earlier tonight, he wrote.
Breaking: Cowboy Cerrone (@Cowboycerrone) and Niko Price (@Nikohybridprice) have verbally agreed to meet on Sept. 19, per multiple sources. Stylistically, hell of a fight. Should be all action.
This is such an exciting match up between two absolute killers! Price on one had is 14-4 (1 NC) with ten knockouts and three submissions, while Cerrone is 36-15 (1 NC), also with ten wins via knockout, and seventeen by submission.
It’s crazy, ‘Cowboy’ went 28-0-1 as a professional kickboxer before ever started his MMA career, and he didn’t pick up a knockout win in MMA until his sixteenth win. Twelve of his first fifteen wins came via submission, it’s almost unheard of how quickly he took to grappling after that long and extensive of a kickboxing career.
They’re both pretty well rounded too, but both have suffered defeat in their last fights. Cerrone is actually coming off of four setbacks, TKO losses to Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, and Conor McGregor, and he lost his rematch to Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision.
Many people thought he won that last fight, that he should’ve gotten the nod, but he’ll have to right that wrong at UFC 253.
Price is coming off a defeat to Vicente Luque, who actually has two wins over him now. This means Price has only ever lost to three people, the other two being Abdul Razak Alhassan and Geoff Neal, both very dangerous welterweights.
Both of these men stand 6′ tall, but Price is the one who has a three inch reach advantage. He was getting boxed up by Tim Means on the feet before landing a thunderous right hook, securing the KO finish moments later. Means had never been finished via strikes before, and hasn’t since, Cerrone has definitely got to watch out for that power.
Each of these men also won their no contest; Cerrone’s was a first round submission (triangle choke) victory back in 2007, and Price’s was a second round KO (punch) in 2017. This is going to be a good one ladies and gentlemen, do not miss it!

Luke Rockhold believes there’s a good chance we’ll see a new middleweight champion next month in Paulo Costa.
Costa takes on Israel Adesanya in a highly-anticipated middleweight title grudge match set to headline UFC 253. Although the initial date was September 19, there are now plans to move it back a week for September 26.
It’s a unique title fight taking place between two undefeated fighters and while Adesanya is the betting favorite, Rockhold believes Costa has more than enough in his game to dethrone the current middleweight king.
“I think he could easily do that,” Rockhold told Submission Radio of Costa defeating Adesanya. “You have the bull and you have the matador, and Israel needs to use his length to get the f*ck away.
“That dude, Paulo Costa, he just comes forward, comes forward with everything he’s got.”
That said, Adesanya is still the champion and coming off wins over Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero.
Boasting some of the best footwork and distance management in the sport today, if anyone can defeat Costa, it is him.
“But Adesanya, he moves real well, he evades well and he tags well,” Rockhold added. “So, you never know. Everybody can be hurt.”
Rockhold, meanwhile, is targeting a return to the division and a few wins could see him get right back into the middleweight title picture.

Unlike other rivalries, don’t expect Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya to make up after their fight is over.
Costa is set to challenge Adesanya for his middleweight title in the UFC 253 headliner which takes place September 19, though a location is still not confirmed as of yet.
It promises to be a heated but exciting affair with both fighters clearly not a fan of the other. And that was only further reiterated in a recent interview where Costa claimed he would not shake Adesanya’s hand after the fight even if he emerged victorious.
“Even after I knock him out, I will not shake his hand,” Costa told MMA Junkie. “It will be wild. It will be savage. … I believe in the second round (I will knock him out) because he will run a lot in the first round.”
Another reason the fight is so highly-anticipated is because it will be a rare title fight between two undefeated fighters.
Barring an unlikely draw, one of the pair will lose their undefeated record and Costa is confident he will be the one whose record remains perfect — especially given his abilities and style going up against Adesanya.
“I will not be staying and waiting for him,” Costa said. “I know he can run a lot, and that’s what he wants to do, what he usually does. I won’t wait like [Yoel] Romero did. I will hunt him inside the cage and close the distance and land my shots to his body and his face. … Don’t go so fast like [Robert] Whittaker and don’t go slow like Romero. Make a balance. I think I am very different from both guys because I can pressure him every minute for the 25 minutes.
“I can keep the pressure very, very aggressive against him. I can push him at all times, and I have a lot of power in my hands, on my bones in my hands and kicks. Against him, I just need one shot to finish the fight.”
