Urijah Faber officially hung up his MMA gloves back in 2016, but as history has shown, retirements in combat sports are often temporary.
Last March, the UFC Hall-of-Famer noted that he’s already considering a comeback. Now, he already has a date and venue in mind: July 13, when the UFC returns to his hometown of Sacramento.
Faber previously spoke about a possible bout with T.J. Dillashaw, but with his rival and former teammate out on a lengthy USADA suspension, he says he’s open to competing against anyone at either bantamweight or featherweight.
UFC Fight Night: Sacramento will be an ESPN+ card, and still currently doesn’t have a main event announced.
