Thomas Almeida calls out Urijah Faber in order to silence doubters

Brazilian bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida wants to take on a big name of the sport so people can stop questioning his skills.

He may be 20-0 in MMA with 16 knockouts under his belt, but Brazilian bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida revealed he still deals with doubters all the time. In order to put those people to rest, he wants a big step up in competition and already has a name on his mind: Urijah Faber.

"I don't choose very much, but I think Faber would be a great challenge in my career," Almeida told Combate.
