Right before the anticipated UFC lightweight title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor at UFC 229, two UFC Hall of Famers are slated to face each other in a grappling match. MMA veterans Kazushi Sakuraba and Urijah Faber will be part of Quintet 3, which takes place on October 5th.
As reported by MMA Fighting, the said matchup is the first one to be made official for the event, which will be aired live on UFC Fight Pass.
For the 39-year-old Faber, getting to test his skills against a legend like Sakuraba is a dream come true.
