Niko Price almost never goes to the scorecards and he’s being rewarded handsomely for his efforts.
For his stunning first-round knockout of Tim Means, Price was given one of the evening’s $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses at UFC Wichita on Saturday.
As expected, Price and Means went right at each other, with Price landing the heavier shots at first before being slammed to the mat by Means. The ground fighting was inconclusive and when the action returned to the feet, Price used Means’s aggression against him, stopping him with a counter right hook and ground-and-pound with 10 seconds remaining in round one.
