Urijah Faber came back in a big way at UFC Sacramento, and he padded his bank account in what turned out to be the shortest night’s work of his professional career.
Faber came out of retirement and earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for a 46-second knockout of Ricky Simon in the co-main event. “The California Kid” put Simon on the floor with his trademark overhand right and then unloaded with punches and hammerfists until the bantamweight contest was halted.
It was one of four performance bonuses given out by the Las Vegas-based promotion on Saturday night.
