Urijah Faber’s return to combat sports has been confirmed.
Faber announced in March that he would be returning to action under the banner of his own promotion, A1 Combat, but he didn’t specify an opponent. The promotion on Sunday officially announced a rematch between Faber and Jeff Curran that will headline A1 Combat 21 on May 25 at the Visalia Convention Center in California. The matchup will take place under combat jiu-jitsu rule set, which allows open palm strikes.
Faber and Curran faced each other for the first time at WEC 31 in 2007 with Faber’s featherweight title on the line.
