Urijah Faber was almost about to rule out fighting in his home state a few weeks ago.
When discussing new weight-cutting rules implemented by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), Faber made it seem like his days fighting in the Golden State -- at least at 135 pounds -- were numbered.
"If it does apply, moving forward, I probably won't be able to compete, because I cut a lot of weight," Faber said at a UFC 199 media day.
In February, CSAC passed emergency weight-cutting rules, the most significant of their kind in the nation.
