Niko Price has shared the cage with some of the best welterweights the UFC has to offer, but for years he has been doing so with significant injuries.
The 12-fight UFC veteran has had his ups and downs in recent years, but despite coming off a win in his last outing, Price (15-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) decided it was time to address a lingering knee injury. It’s a significant one that probably would have immediately sidelined most fighters, but one that Price competed with since 2018.
So, why take time away to fix the issue now?
