Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Niko Price — "The Hybrid" to fight fans — has built a 16-11 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 10 KO/TKO wins, 5.13 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The last fight went to Michael Chiesa (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
He's 36 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
