A nineteen-fight veteran with a chin rating of zero meets a newcomer whose only recorded UFC appearance lasted twenty-three seconds.
This is a matchup between a fighter the model knows far too much about and one it barely knows at all, and both of those are problems. Niko Price has 19 recorded UFC fights and a chin rating of 0.0. That figure is not a comment on his courage — it is the arithmetic of what has happened to him lately. Michael Chiesa submitted him in 1:03 in March. Nikolay Veretennikov knocked him out in 1:42 in Fe…
Price (16-11) is 37 and has lost four in a row, three of them inside the distance: Chiesa by submission in 1:03 in March, Veretennikov by knockout in 1:42 in February, Jacobe Smith by submission in the second last June. His 0.0 chin rating is the lowest possible figure and the most consequential number in this preview. His last win was a decision over Alex Morono in June 2024.
Shahbazyan (12-5) has one recorded UFC fight, a 23-second knockout loss to Levan Chokheli in June. His 6.2 composite, 0.0 performance average, 0.0 quality-of-victory and 0.0 across every style score exist only because there is nothing to compute them from — the model is not rating him, it is waiting for data. At 193.0cm he is the taller man by ten centimetres.
A 0.0 chin rating at 37 years old against an opponent the model cannot rate at all
Shahbazyan's entire UFC sample is 23 seconds long — every one of his style scores reads 0.0
Price's 2.50 submission score against two submission losses in his last three
Ten centimetres of height for Shahbazyan but five centimetres less reach
Price's 0.75 finish rate: he has rarely been in a fight that stayed calm
Shahbazyan's 6.2 composite is an artefact of one fight, not a verdict — his 12-5 record was built outside the pack's view
With a 0.0 chin rating and three stoppage losses in his last five, Price can lose this in the opening exchange regardless of his edge in measured skill
