UFE Media was first to report the welterweight bout. UFC on
ESPN 42 takes place at the Amway Center on Dec. 3 and is headlined
by a 170-pound clash pitting Stephen
Thompson against Kevin
Holland.
Price last appeared at UFC Fight Night 193 in October 2021, when he
garnered a unanimous verdict over Alex
Oliveira. That ended a three-bout winless streak for “The
Hybrid,” who is 7-5 with a pair of no contests over the course of
his promotional tenure.
A former Dana White’s Contender Series competitor, Row is 2-1 in
UFC competition thus far. After falling to Gabriel
Green in his Octagon debut, “The Fresh Prince” has rebounded
with back-to-back TKO triumphs against Orion Cosce
and Jason Whitt in his last two outings.
