Urijah Faber, one of the most popular fighters in all of mixed martial arts (MMA), is ready to put an end to his fighting career.

After fighting professionally for nearly 14 years, "The California Kid" declared during a recent stop by at The MMA Hour that his upcoming fight against Brad Pickett -- which is set to go down at UFC on FOX 22 in his hometown of Sacramento, California on Dec. 17, 2016 -- will in fact be his retirement fight.
