Welterweight veteran Niko Price will make his second, final walk to the Octagon next month at UFC Vegas 122.

UFC welterweight Niko Price dropped the gloves after a loss to Michael Chiesa at UFC Seattle earlier this year. In a fight in which both Price and Chiesa promised would be their last in the Octagon, Chiesa walked away with a storybook ending to his career.

Despite appearing to retire, Price didn't get any time on the microphone at UFC Seattle. A full video package played for Chiesa after his UFC Seattle victory to commemorate his tenure with the promotion.

After dropping the gloves at UFC Seattle, Price seemed destined never to return to the Octagon. But just months after UFC Seattle, Price will fight one more time at the UFC Apex before walking away from fighting.

Niko Price's second retirement fight booked for UFC Vegas 122

As reported by Heavy, Price will return to the Octagon to fight Leon Shahbazyan at UFC Vegas 122 on October 10th at the Apex. The card is headlined by a middleweight bout between Top 10 contenders Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan.

Leon, the brother of UFC middleweight vet Edmen Shahbazyan, will make his second UFC appearance after a first-round loss to Levan Chokheli in June. Before his UFC debut, Shahbazyan won four consecutive fights in Tuff N' Uff.

Price is seeking his first UFC win since defeating Alex Morono by unanimous decision at UFC 302. He's been with the promotion since his UFC debut at UFC 207, a first-round submission over Brandon Thatch.

Price has earned wins over the likes of Randy Brown, Alan Jouban, and Tim Means during his UFC tenure. The 36-year-old will look for one last highlight-reel victory at UFC Vegas 122.

Dana White perplexed by King Green's 'homeless' claims despite owning nine houses

UFC CEO Dana White couldn't believe what he was hearing when asked about King Green's homelessness claims.

UFC lightweight King Green is one of the biggest fan favorites in the division's history. After a recent TKO win over Terrance McKinney at UFC 329, Green remains one of the top lightweights in the world as he progresses in this latter chapter of his career.

Green has made millions during his fighting career, which includes stops in Strikeforce, King of the Cage, and the UFC. Despite his successes, Green raised eyebrows by claiming he's in dire financial shape.

In a recent appearance on Arnold Barboza's live stream, Green claimed he's currently homeless and living out of his vehicle.

“I got like nine houses, but I'm f—— homeless right now,†Green said.

“All my homies live in all of my homes and s—, so I'm f—— living out of my car as we speak…It's just a part of life. And I just want to show people real life. I deal with s— like this all the time. Last camp, I got robbed of $300,000 of jewelry. It's like it never stops with the f—— b——-… I had a girlfriend at the time, so I was staying with my girlfriend… then we broke up a couple of days ago.

“So, I'll find a spot after this fight. I'll figure something out.†(h/t Yahoo! Sports)

Dana White shocked over King Green's homeless revelation

In a recent interview with Complex, White was asked about Green's claims.

“How's that possible?†White said of Green.

“I haven't heard that [LAUGHS], and I hope that's not true. He just fought back-to-back recently and makes d— good money. Hadn't heard any of that.â€

As of this writing, Green hasn't expanded on his recent claims. Green is scheduled to face Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332 next month.

Noche UFC weigh-in results: Jean Silva is ready for Noche UFC redemption

Noche UFC weigh-in results: Jean Silva is ready for Noche UFC redemption

Jean Silva is ready for some Noche UFC redemption.

On Friday, all 26 fighters for the latest Noche UFC card successfully made weight, including both Jean Silva and Jose Miguel Delgado, who face off in the featherweight main event on Saturday. Delgado made use of the one-pound allowance for non-title fights, weighing in at 145.5 pounds, while Silva made a statement, coming in at the championship weight of 145 pounds.

Hailing from the Fighting Nerds team, Silva appeared on the cusp of a featherweight title last year, before suffering a TKO loss to Diego Lopes in the main event of Noche UFC last year. After rebounding with a unanimous decision win over Arnold Allen in January, Silva is looking to get back in the 145-pound title picture and redeem his previous showing at Noche UFC.

Joining the UFC from Contender Series in 2024, Delgado has made an immediate splash in the promotion, racking up a 4-1 record in the octagon in less than two years. Silva was originally set to face Yair Rodriguez in the Noche UFC main event, but when Rodriguez pulled out of the fight, Delgado stepped in on short notice and is looking for the biggest win of his career.

Watch official weigh-ins of the top 2 fights below.

Watch Noche UFC weigh-in highlights above, with ceremonial weigh-ins set for 7 p.m. ET.

Also on the card, former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno returns to the octagon looking to stop a two-fight losing streak when he takes on Joseph Morales in the co-main event. Both Moreno and Morales successfully made weight, with both coming in at 125.5 pounds.

Also of note, the previously planned flyweight fight between Tim Elliott and Edgar Chairez that serves as the final prelim fight was changed to a 130-pound catchweight bout before weigh-ins, with both men making the 130-pound mark.
