Niko Price knocked two guys out from his back. Cerrone’s been knocking guys out for years now. This one is NOT going the distance. Not a chance! Bet on it! #UFCVegas11

Cowboy is such a warrior . Every opponent comes at him 100% from the beginning due to his name value, he stays composed and chips away! #UFCVegas11

What a fight! Damn! Cowboy survived a rough first minute and wasn’t even phased. Great action back and forth. Respect! #UFCVegas11

I agree with Cruz. Idk how no TDs were scored for Cowboy. Like what? This is why I never like listening to those stat count guys. #UFCVegas11

Guess I’m not the only one that doesn’t hate draws @ufc @Nikohybridprice lol
— Forrest Griffin (@ForrestGriffin) September 20, 2020
I don't think Niko is happy about the draw. I think hes happy about his performance and that he didn't lose after getting a point deduction. Great work from both fighters #funtowatch #UFCVegas11
