Local MMA Fighter Maintains WEC Featherweight Belt at ARCO Arena
June 1, 2008

Local MMA fighter Urijah Faber took on the only other man who could stop him in his steam roller of a ride as the World Extreme Cagefighting’s feisty featherweight division.  The talk of the town for month’s leading up to the big event, locals from Davis to Folsom have been talking about the historic match-up.

Faber, already the featherweight champion and former NCAA wrestling god at UC Davis,  had been chided by some as not having taken on any  major fighters. Jens Pulver is known and respected by any real fan of MMA as the major fighter who would put Faber down - he did not.

“I didn’t really tell anyone that I was going to stand because I don’t want to hear people tell me not to do it. I know how good my hands are. I’ve been working on them for five friggin’ years now.” - Faber Full Story »
