Niko Price is known for his all-action style and has won 4 ‘Performance of the Night’ bonuses in his UFC tenure and is always game to throw down with his opponents. Outside of the cage, Price is a dedicated family man, and ahead of his clash at UFC 302, let’s take a look and learn all we know about his wife and kids!

Price was born and raised in Florida and was an accomplished athlete at Mariner High School where he played the linebacker position for the school’s football team. He trained in kickboxing before he found his way to mixed martial arts and decided to devote himself to the sport in 2008.

He then made his UFC debut in 2016 where he fought Brandon Thatch and started off his career in the ‘big show’ with a submission victory in the first round. Since then he has secured notable wins over names like Randy Brown, Tim Means, and James Vick, in fact, it was his knockout of Brown with hammer fists from the bottom position that illustrated the unique style and fight IQ of ‘The Hybrid’!

In his journey as a professional fighter, his wife Erica, has been a steadfast supporter of Price. The two have been married for over a decade and have built a loving family life along with their 6 children. According to information online, the kids in the Price family are Mia, Ella, Asher, Micah, Ezra, and their youngest daughter, Adalee Joy.

In an interview ahead of his UFC 264 clash against Michel Pereira in 2021, Price revealed, “I try to hang out with the kids as much as I can, Resting with the kids is not really resting. I’m getting tired, and they’re still warming up. They’re everything to me.”

And according to his wife, Erica, while she worries about her partner inside the cage, she revealed, “It’s not easy. He loves it. It’s his absolute passion. For him to support us that way, I support him, too. It’s amazing what he can do.”

As Price continues his career in the UFC, his unwavering support from his family will likely remain a cornerstone of his success. And now, ‘The Hybrid’ is gearing up to settle the score with Alex Morono at UFC 302. Originally scheduled to face Jeremiah Wells at the June 1 event, Wells was replaced by Morono by the UFC due to undisclosed reasons.

The fight will be a rematch between Price and Morono as they had both previously faced one another at UFC Fight Night 104 in 2017 which was originally declared a knockout victory for ‘The Hybrid’ but was later overturned to a no-contest due to Price testing positive for marijuana. However, another UFC fighter and a past opponent of ‘The Hybrid’ had some given him a unique piece of advice for his personal life before they stepped into the cage against one another!

Price received ‘family planning’ advice from Alex Oliveira

Niko Price and Alex Oliveira faced off against each other in 2021 at UFC Vegas 38, and in a pre-fight interview, the Brazilian ‘Cowboy’ shared an honest piece of advice for ‘The Hybrid’ when he found out that Price would be welcoming a 6th member to his family.

Oliveira stated, “I’d tell him, ’If you can get a vasectomy already, do it, brother”. Reflecting on his own experiences as a father of 11 children, the Brazilian went on to confess that if he had undergone the procedure earlier, he might have had fewer children.

As Price gears up for UFC 302, the advice offered by fellow fighter Alex Oliveira adds a touch of humor to the mix for the family man and he’ll be looking to come home victorious to his wife and kids on June 1.
