Josh Emmett confident Urijah Faber more than ready after coming out of retirement

No one ever seems to stay retired in the sport of mixed martial arts but UFC veteran Urijah Faber seemed to be one fighter who could comfortably walk away when he did.

The UFC Hall of Famer was able to finish his career on a win over Brad Pickett in his hometown of Sacramento back in 2016 and with financial investments in businesses away from fighting it appeared Faber would settle into retirement without any regrets.

Less than three years later, Faber is set to return to action at another UFC card in Sacramento this weekend as he takes on bantamweight prospect Ricky Simon in the co-main event.
