UFC Fight Night 161 Results: Veteran ends undefeated streak, Former headliner to get fired after devastating KO?

#3 Niko Price vs James Vick

Did James Vick get upkicked out of UFC?

Niko Price now has six wins in the UFC Welterweight division. It took him less than one round to finish James Vick, who suffered his fourth loss in a row and the third knockout loss in four fights.

It's likely going to mean the end of Vick in UFC. He was already on a three-fight losing skid and was at risk of being cut. With his loss to Price, that maybe it. Regardless, Niko Price will be looking to step up and move ahead by facing a ranked opponent.

It was an upkick that got him the victory. Interestingly, it was only the second upkick knockout in UFC history - the last of which came in 2006. Price also has the second-most number of finishes in the Welterweight division since 2016, with Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson's next opponent Vincent Luque being ahead of him with 8.

It's going to be interesting to see what UFC has planned for Price next, but many believe that a fight against Mike Perry will be the right one. Price took little to no damage so he should be good to go in a matter of time.

Result: Niki Price def. James Vick via KO (Upkick in Rd 1)
