“The “California Kid” went back home in search of gold, and now he’ll get a chance to add some more precious metal to his collection.
Urijah Faber showed his starpower by electrifying a huge crowd in Sacramento and then flashed his firepower by defeating Raphael Assuncao via rear naked choke. As a result, he was granted the first title shot against new WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
” We got a great champion right now. Jose Aldo. He’s a phenom. He’s both talented and creative. I’d love to go in there and get that belt.” Faber said
“I respect Urijah but no one will take my belt,” said titleholder Jose Aldo, who was invited in the cage to hype the matchup.
WEC general manager Reed Harris confirmed the matchup in the WEC 46 post-fight press conference.
