What was said
"Um, yeah. Like, I checked out. I was chilling. I was working with my brother already building help or looking towards building a different business and other things. And then uh yeah, Shelby called and I was like the only way the way I uh the way I said I'd only take a bite from them is if they gave me one, you know, I wasn't going to go begging or asking."
Niko Price recalls that after his March fight he felt mentally finished and shifted focus to other work. He says he agreed to return only after UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby contacted him with what Price viewed as a fitting final bout.
