VIDEO: Niko Price's Upkick KO Against James Vick is Like Seeing a Brutal Unicorn

MMA is the most unpredictable sport on the planet, as a fighter on the mat can appear dead and buried before totally flipping the script and coming out on top. At UFC Fight Night in Tampa Saturday night, James Vick was pounding away at a grounded Niko Price. Just when it looked like Herb Dean was ready to call this fight, Price connected with an upkick that knocked Vick down to the mat. Price would end up with a win via knockout moments later.

An upkick knockout?? Sheesh. That's about as rare a sight as there is in the fight game.

Price needed this win in a big way, as it salvaged his chances for a run at the welterweight title belt one day. After losing to Geoff Neal at UFC 240, Price has gotten himself back in the win column, and continues to move up the 170-pound rankings.

He might not be ready just yet to face Colby Covington or Kamaru Usman, but as he proved last night, it's not the wisest strategy to doubt this dude.
