\u201cThe Hybrid\u201d unexpectedly announced during fight week that he planned to hang up his gloves after facing Michael Chiesa<\/strong>. Unfortunately, Chiesa was also retiring that night and received nearly all of the attention from the broadcast, leaving Price\u2019s farewell largely overlooked.<\/p>\n Now, UFC matchmakers are giving Price another chance to go out properly.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were like, \u2018Would you like a proper retirement?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Heck yeah, that sounds like fun. I\u2019ll take another fight,\u2019\u201d Price recently told Home of Fight<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cSean Shelby told me he wanted to call me because when I said I wanted to retire in Seattle, I surprised him, too,\u201d Price continued. \u201cIt was crazy. I said the only way I would take another fight was if UFC came to me and said, \u2018Here\u2019s the fight. Do you want it?\u2019 That\u2019s exactly what they said, word for word, and to me, that was God speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, MMA retirements are rarely permanent. If Price wins on Saturday, could another tempting offer convince him to stick around?<\/p>\n Probably not \u2014 unless UFC produces something special.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, no, I\u2019m feeling pretty accomplished in my career,\u201d Price said. \u201cI\u2019m going to end it with this one. If a golden nugget comes up, you can\u2019t turn down a golden nugget. It\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n So, he is definitely retiring.<\/p>\n Price (16-11) enters his official retirement fight on a four-fight losing streak, having suffered first-round stoppage losses in each of his last two appearances. He is also just 2-6 across his previous eight fights.<\/p>\n Price did not receive the farewell he deserved in Seattle.<\/p>\n This weekend, he gets one last opportunity to write a better ending.<\/p>\n One final rodeo for \u201cThe Hybrid.\u201d<\/p>\n
