Almost two years ago, The California Kid Urijah Faber lost his Featherweight title to Mike Brown. However on Saturday, Faber looks to regain his title against new fan favorite and current champ Jose Aldo.
Aldo is a deadly fighter, finishing his last 6 WEC bouts with terrifying KO victories. His recent destruction was of Mike Brown who was coming off a 10 fight win streak. Urijah Faber on the other hand, is coming off one win after being defeated by Mike Brown once again. For Faber, he isn’t counting out Aldo, but he doesn’t care if the rest of the world is counting Faber out.
“He’s a fabulous fighter and there is merit to all the credit he’s getting,” Faber said. “I’m impressed by him. But his vulnerability is that I’m the better fighter.”
Faber has only lost to two people in his career, once against Tyson Griffin and then Mike Brown twice.
“This sport, you never know what is going to happen,” Faber said. “Too much crazy [stuff] could happen. But the one thing I know, and that I think anyone who is going to fight me knows, is that you’ll get the best of what I have that night and I’m going to keep coming and keep fighting and keep trying to find a way to win.”
Jose Aldo is a beast no matter what Faber says. He’s ranked No. 6 in the Yahoo! Sports pound-for-pound rankings and he’s on a nine-fight winning streak. He’s justifiably earned comparisons to the pre-UFC 112 version of Anderson Silva.
This fight will definitely be a battle, and expect it to end fast.
