UFC’s Urijah Faber interested in big fight with former teammate T.J. Dillashaw

Last week, it was announced that MMA veteran Urijah Faber would be coming out of retirement to face bantamweight prospect Ricky Simon at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 155 event in Faber’s hometown of Sacramento, California.

Although Faber is super-excited about his return to the Octagon against Simon, ‘The California Kid’ is looking ahead to an even bigger fight against former teammate turned arch rival T.J. Dillashaw, who was recently suspended for two years by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) due to his use of the injectable-only performance-enhancing drug EPO.

Faber teased of a possible grudge match with Dillashaw in a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
