Pereira and Price have an unorthodox fighting style that is highly liked by fight fans around the world. Pereira will be entering into this fight, riding a winning streak of two fights with his latest win coming against Khaos Williams on UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Neal.

Price isn’t having that great run during his recent fights and he managed to win only one out of his last four fights. Niko Price last faced the UFC legend Donald Cerrone on UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Covington which ended in a draw.
