Urijah Faber is ending his illustrious MMA career in his hometown Sacramento, Calif. yet he’s not fighting in the main or even the co-main event of the card. But all that makes sense for ‘The California Kid’.
Faber announced last month during an episode of The MMA Hour that he was retiring after his bout with Brad Pickett at UFC on FOX 22. Being the face of MMA in Sacramento for many years, and being the captain and owner Team Alpha Male, one of the most well-known MMA teams in Sacramento and arguably California, many saw fitting that Faber would headline Saturday’s UFC on FOX 22.
