I was wondering about that the whole time. That was fucked up.
I’m still so disgusted by the way this was handled. Such an awful company the UFC is and only seems to be getting worse since TKO’s involvement.
Niko was a 10 year UFC veteran and they literally did nothing for him. DISGUSTING.
They could have done the whole hugging eachother last fight thing but decided to do some special shit for the local guy to make the home crowd happy and were complete asshoe to Niko.
Both Lees are assholes.
Would have been great for Chiesa to call Niko Price into the post-fight interview since they were both retiring. But alas…
one of the podcasts was saying he decided mid week that this was his retirement fight, still feels bad though.
They could have still given him a microphone to say his farewells.
Maybe he would have a point if he gave it his all and went out in a respectable manner. As it happened he knew it was his last fight and rolled over the first chance he got to collect that last check. He didn’t deserve a mic after that.
I don’t necessarily agree with that. I think Chiesa is just the better fighter especially at this stage
Maybe this was his punishment for fighting like a retard
Do they really give retirement accolades to nothing-burger fighters like Niko?!?!
Kevin is retarded or retarded.
His last fight wasn’t during Covid. It was way into 2023.
And the Russian was not undefeated.
I was at that fight. Same card Felice Herrig got shit on.
He has some pretty insane highlight reel finishes in the UFC. He was pretty good at one point.
Kevin got fucking murdered that night. Brutal.
I had no idea until this thread that Niko was retiring.
The good news for him is that I’m hiring dishwashers and busboys so he can come work for me instead of Tito.
I have no idea where he trains but he always reps Cape Coral.
They just didn’t have any time to allocate to Price. If they give him the mic, they couldn’t run the commercial for Michelle Phifer’s paramount plus show for the 500th time that card.
