Urijah Faber Beats Ricky Simon Via 1st-Round TKO at UFC Fight Night 155

After more than two years away from the sport, Urijah Faber came back in a big way with a first-round TKO win over Ricky Simon in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 155 in Sacramento.

Faber stunned the up-and-comer with an overhand right that precipitated the end with ground-and-pound to the eruption of the Caliornia crowd.

At 40 years old and coming off a long layoff, the odds were against The California Kid, but he was able to muster enough Old School Faber to pick up the win.

While it's been more than two years since Faber won a decision against Brad Pickett, he has stayed active training and even competed at Polaris 10, a competitive grappling event.
