T.J. Dillashaw: Urijah Faber ‘probably should have stayed retired’
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports T.J. Dillashaw isn’t surprised to see Urijah Faber back, but believes his former teammate is making the wrong move by exiting retirement.
Faber, who retired from MMA in 2016, recently announced that he is returning to MMA competition. “The California Kid,” a former WEC champ and current UFC Hall of Famer, retired in 2016 after a win over Brad Pickett. Faber is set to meet prospect Ricky Simon at UFC Sacramento on July 13.
Ex-UFC bantamweight champion Dillashaw, who used to train with Faber at Team Alpha Male, said that Faber should have stayed put.
