Niko Price vs Jacobe Smith prediction
Niko Price (16-8 with two no contests) is in desperate need of a win coming into this bout at UFC 317. The 35-year-old has only won two of his last eight fights and he is coming off a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Themba Gorimbo last October.
He will be hoping to get back on track here but that will not be easy as the UFC matchmakers have paired him up with the unbeaten Jacobe Smith (10-0).
The 29-year-old made quite the impact on his UFC debut last time out as he knocked out Preston Parsons after just 73 seconds and he will be looking to make another statement here.
Eight of his ten wins have come by knockout and he brings plenty of punching power with him. That does not bode well for Price who has been knocked out five times and we fear for the veteran here.
Prediction: Jacobe Smith to win by KO/TKO
