The California Kid has retired.
In his hometown of Sacramento, Faber faced off against Brad Pickett and marked his stepping away from the cage with a great win after a hugely dominating performance. With a career spanning thirteen years, it’s no surprise that Faber’s walking away at the age of 37 had plenty of well wishers taking to social media to offer their thoughts on a future Hall of Fame career.
Heeey! #UFCSacramento @UrijahFaber let's go! #californiakid
