Under UFC 245 kommer Urijah Faber att återvända för en match mot Petr Yan, vilket kan bli hans sista i karriären. Tidigare ryktades det att Faber gått i pension igen, men svarade sedan att detta inte alls stämde.
Han har tidigare gått i pension en gång men återvände i somras, där han knockade Ricky Simon under UFC Sacramento. Faber känner nu att han även kommer att vinna via knockout i den kommande matchen.
Det här berättade Faber via ’theScore’:
You know, I’ve been watching a little bit of tape on Yan. He’s known as a striker but he’s got a very well-rounded game. He mixes together precision striking with some Hail Mary danger shots. And he’s not afraid to get on the ground and mix it up. I think it’s going to be a real skill fight all the way around.
I don’t foresee him fatiguing and breaking, I don’t see me fatiguing and breaking. It’s going to be about who can get the positions where they can dominate. I feel like there are some things that I’m better than him at and there are maybe a few things that he’s better at than me. I think I’m going to best him. Getting the upset because I feel like there’s a lot of hype behind the guy. I just think it’ll be a wild fight. I see probably a finish. If not, we’ll go to war for three rounds.
Faber känner att det finns mycket talang i bantamvikten och att känner att det här kan bli hans sista match, men han är alltid öppen för en titelmatch.
Dana said, ‘Look, with you in the picture. It’s [Jose] Aldo vs. [Marlon] Moraes. [Cory] Sandhagen vs. Frankie [Edgar]. It’s you vs. Yan.’ I imagine whoever the highest-clouted guy is that wins. There will kind of be a lineup from there.
But there’s also Dominick Cruz coming back soon. That guy is always a force to be reckoned with. Cody Garbrandt is on the comeback. We got TJ [Dillashaw] sitting there trying to figure out the next little way to get ahead. There’s a lot of guys out there. This could be win, lose or draw my last fight. I don’t know but I’ll always make myself available. I’ll be looking for the title fight.
Tror ni att helgens match kan bli Fabers sista? Hur tror ni att den kommer att sluta?
