Urijah Faber Signs 6 Fight WEC Deal
Former WEC Featherweight champ Urijah "The California Kid" Faber (22-3) has signed a 6 fight contract with the organization, keeping him tied to the Zuffa owned promotion for the forseeable future. Faber's future had been somewhat in limbo; following a pair of hand injuries in a June fight against current champ Mike Thomas Brown (22-4) and the expiration of his contract, speculation began that the Sacramento based fighter might pursue different organizations or weight classes. Not only will Faber remain with the organization that made him a star, but WEC General Manager Reed Harris hopes to see him fight by the end of the year.
