Price mentioned Darren Till as a fighter he’d like to face during his Octagon interview.THEY SAID IT:
Niko Price:“I didn’t expect the fight to be so back and forth but I was very impressed with his power. He is a brute on the ground and he hits really hard but that’s what makes it so fun to be in this sport. Pushing yourself through tough moments and finding ways to win is what it’s all about. When I felt the tap, it felt like the heavens opened up. That’s the moment we live for as fighters. I hope it was impressive enough to earn me that bonus but, more than anything, I just can’t wait to get back out there and do it again next time!”

Cory Sandhagen: “It was very important to me to treat this like any other fight even though I was making my debut. I’ve learned the importance of shutting out nerves and taking things as they come. I look at what I do as an art and I wanted to showcase that. I was able to impose my will and get the finish, which is amazing. Next, I am going to talk to my coaches and see what they think I should do but I feel good and hopefully I’ll be back out there very soon.”
