Impact With Chiesa having announced this as his retirement fight long ago, the UFC needed an opponent following the withdrawal of Carlston Harris a little over a week ago. Price agreed to step in and ended up lasting all of 63 seconds as a +650 underdog. He was muscled to the mat by Chiesa and tapped out the very second the latter secured the choke. What was overlooked leading up to and after this fight was the fact Price will also be retiring. He ended up appearing in 21 fights for the company dating back to December 2016, going 8-11 (2NC). Niko's run ends with a 1-6 mark in his past seven bouts, but this is a guy that racked up wins over the likes of Alex Morono, Tim Means, and Randy Brown. Price run would have to be considered a success despite the struggles of late.
