Faber looks to regain title against Jose Aldo in WEC PPV debut
Urijah Faber is known as the “California Kid,” but Saturday won’t be this “kid’s” first go-around.
The 30-year-old veteran of World Extreme Cagefighting faces the biggest fight of his career this Saturday when he takes on WEC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo.
That title contest will be the main event of WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber presented by AMP, from the Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
“For me, I am fighting one guy who is going to be trying to beat me up and I am going to be trying to beat him up. It is pretty primal for me,” said Faber during a conference call on Tuesday.
Aside from the pressures of having a title fight in his hometown of Sacramento, the WEC is also entering into the pay-per-view market for the first time on Saturday night.
The broadcast airs live on PPV starting at 10PM ET/7PM PT.
