Urijah Faber has a bit of a complicated future in the UFC. He hasn't fought since he lost by TKO to Petr Yan. It seemed like he was retired after that fight.

Cub Swanson recently called out Urijah Faber and now it looks like he could return to the UFC. Faber wants to make sure he makes the right amount before anything happens.

“I told Dana that I’ll be 43 in May, that will be 20 years of combat,” Faber told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour of a discussion he had about Swanson with the UFC boss. “I said, ‘The dollar is not worth what it used to be two years ago. So let’s talk again on that front. But I’d be down to throw down and fight.’”

This isn't the first time a fight with Cub Swanson has been talked about. The two almost fought on the regional scene in California before getting to the UFC.

“He was trying to make his name,” Faber explained of previous talks. “He just got started, and I think he said no to the fight. I didn’t really know who he was at the time, and I’m glad that he did, because they were going to pay him a couple hundred bucks and they were going to pay me, like, $1,000 at Soboba Casino.

“I like Cub a lot,” Faber said. “He’s a guy that’s grown as an individual. He’s getting better as a fighter. I would rather be 38 than 43 when we fight, but it sounds like something that would be a lot of fun. I’m always looking for things around my birthday (in May) to get my engine going and give me a reason to get in amazing shape.”
