The Ultimate Fighting Championship revealed Tuesday afternoon that one of its most popular fighters will be fighting at home in December. Former World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight champion Urijah Faber will take on Brad Pickett in one of the featured bouts of UFC on Fox 22, the last Fox-televised UFC show of the year.
The Sacramento Bee was the first media outlet to report the matchup.
Faber will be aiming to break his current two-fight losing streak. Once one of the most feared “little guys” in the sport, “The California Kid” is coming off a decision loss to Jimmie Rivera at UFC 203 and has dropped three of his last four bouts overall, including a points loss to rival Dominick Cruz for the UFC’s bantamweight title.
