Niko Price Resumes Fighting Career for UFC Vegas 122 Appearance

By MMAReign News Desk·Sep 11, 2026 • 9:02 PM

Welterweight veteran Niko Price has officially come out of retirement to book a return bout for UFC Vegas 122.

Niko Price is set to return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 122, reversing his previous decision to retire from professional mixed martial arts. The welterweight veteran had announced his retirement following a submission loss to Michael Chiesa at UFC Seattle six months ago. That event proved notable as both men initially intended to step away from the sport, with Price’s departure becoming somewhat obscured by the concurrent news regarding Chiesa. Despite the four-fight skid that preceded his brief hiatus, Price has opted for one final appearance to conclude his tenure with the promotion. The veteran knockout artist looks to secure a more favorable exit in his return to competition. No opponent has been formally named for his comeback bout at this time, though the matchup is confirmed for the upcoming card.
