The former WEC champion went out with a bang at UFC on FOX 22, defeating Brad Pickett to the delight of an adoring hometown crowd in his native Sacramento. At the age of 37, "The California Kid" now exits the sport as one of the preeminent legends of the lighter weight class, and not surprisingly, his fellow fighters paid tribute to an extraordinary career on Saturday night.
