Urijah Faber not ruling out potential clash with champ-champ Henry Cejudo: ‘That’s an enticing fight for me’

Urijah Faber sees a scenario where he ends up challenging UFC champ-champ Henry Cejudo in his return to professional fighting.

The former WEC featherweight champion resumes his historic MMA career on Saturday night in the same place he decided to hang up the gloves in December 2016. Faber will be competing in his hometown against top-15 bantamweight Ricky Simon in the co-headlining slot of UFC Sacramento.

Speaking with MMA Fighting, Faber made it clear he doesn’t know if this will be a sustained comeback, but will entertain all possibilities if he does continue fighting beyond Saturday.
