The Cape Coral native returns to action against Phil Rowe at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Holland.
The last time a UFC event was held in Orlando was back in February 2018 for UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Stephens. When Price got the call to fight in Orlando, there was no hesitation, with it being just over a three-hour drive to the Amway Center. With the location set, Price didn’t care who he was fighting, he just wanted to get back in there.

“I don’t care who it was, you could’ve sent me Khamzat (Chimaev), I’m signing up,” Price said. “It doesn’t matter. I ask for these killers; I want these killers. Phil (Rowe) came up and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll fight Phil, of course. He’s another killer, I’m down.’ I want to fight the hardest dudes, I want the Khamzat fights, I want the fight the Top 5, the Top 3, I’m down for it all.”
When asked what Price thought about Rowe as an opponent, there wasn’t much thought needed, as his answer was simple:
“He’s a good guy, cool, hilarious,” Price said. “He dances good, makes some funny videos. He’s a good fighter.”
