Urijah Faber will look to stave off the first three-fight losing streak of his career when he takes on Brad Pickett in a home game on Dec. 17 at UFC on FOX 22 in Sacramento, Calif. The UFC confirmed the booking on Tuesday following an initial report by The Sacramento Bee.
Faber (33-10) enters the bout riding the toughest stretch of his lengthy mixed martial arts career. The 37-year-old former WEC champion has won just one of his last four contests, sandwiching a victory over Frankie Saenz between losses to Frankie Edgar, UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, and most recently Jimmie Rivera at UFC 203.
