Another UFC Fight Night will take place on December 4th at Amway Center. In one of the preliminary card events, American welterweight Niko Price will fight American welterweight Philip Rowe. The fight is planned for 03:00 UK time. Let’s take a look at the welterweight title fight between Niko and Philip. “The Hybrid” has had quite a bit of downtime without fighting, as he last fought in October 2021. Will this moment affect his current conditioning?
In this case we won’t agree with bookmakers’ odds and suggest to bet on the underdog. Niko had a long downtime without any fights, so it’s not clear what kind of shape he’s in for the future fight.
We should also take into account that Price is way behind in his arm-span, which means that he might be stylistically awkward for Rowe. An early win for Prince by knockout or choke hold would be in order.
The Florida-based fighter is 33 years old, and has been competing under the UFC since 2017. He hasn’t boasted stability since the beginning, as he preaches a spectacular style that lacks pragmatism. In his last fight he was able to defeat Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira on points, and before that he lost to Michel “Demolidor“ Pereira in a similar way. Hybrid’s record to date stands at 15 wins and five losses, with two more fights remaining scoreless.
He tends to work in a standing position and has a straightforward style which has resulted in him getting knocked out quite often. Niko’s principle is simple – to cut down his opponent or to lose prematurely.
The “Fresh Prince” is 32 years old with a record of nine wins and three losses. Rowe’s arsenal includes jiu-jitsu skills, as well as a serious level of boxing. Plus, for this weight class Philip has excellent anthropometric data. In his last two fights, Philip Rowe came on strong against Jason “The Vanilla Gorilla” Witt and Orion “Galaxy” Kosche, both of them “The Fresh Prince” finished by technical knockout. Remarkably, all his victories came early (5 knockouts, 4 submissions).
