Hall of famer and decorated UFC bantamweight Uriah Faber announces that he will retire after his UFC on Fox 22 bout against fellow veteran Brad Pickett. The card will take place at newly built Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California and the California kid couldn’t think of a more fitting place.
“I’ve been kind of waiting for this, and this is actually going to be my last fight,” Faber revealed. “And it just feels right to do it in [Sacramento] in this new area. It just feels like the right time and the right place. I’ve been waiting for this new arena to be built, I was waiting for that Dominick Cruz opportunity, and I feel like this is going to be an epic event and I can’t wait to do it in front of the people I love.
