MMA legend Urijah Faber fought for the last time Saturday night, defeating Brad Pickett by unanimous decision in his hometown of Sacramento, California.
Although he never won a UFC title, Faber will without a doubt go down as one of the most important fighter’s in the history of MMA.
Think of the most popular fighter in MMA today in Conor McGregor. Now one could argue that his popularity grew long before winning the UFC Featherweight championship, but that’s when fans and peers started to take him serious.
The Featherweight division did not exist in the UFC 5 years ago.
