Urijah Faber will stroll off into the sunset on Dec. 17 after UFC on FOX 22, as Faber announced Monday that he intends to retire from mixed martial arts following his hometown fight against Brad Pickett in Sacramento, Calif.
The bout will signal an end to a remarkable 14-year run for Faber, one that saw him reign for years atop the WEC and play an integral role in growing the popularity of lighter-weight fighters in the sport. And though Faber never achieved his final goal of becoming UFC champion, he exits the fight game with a laundry list of accolades -- and, most importantly, zero regrets.
