Urijah Faber has been playing koi on a return to the UFC but it appears he is not done yet. He recently expressed interest in fighting Cub Swanson for a ‘King of California' belt and that has not changed.
The UFC legend has not fought since losing by knockout to Petr Yan. Urijah Faber recently spoke out and gave an idea on his future in the sport.
“I’m staying ready on all fronts,” Faber recently told MMA Junkie. “I’m actually going out to compete on Thursday in the open national tournament for wrestling. I just decided to do that yesterday. I’m going to enter my name into the hat, maybe try to win a national title. I’ve been offered some good combat jiu-jitsu opportunities I’ll probably end up taking.”
The fight Cub Swanson is one that Urijah Faber is still very interested in and he remains in fighting shape just in case. He's waiting on the UFC to see if they want to book the fight.
“That one fight out there with Cub has been talked about,” Faber said. “I haven’t heard anything from the UFC, but that’s an opportunity still. That’s more about me hitting a switch and deciding to go in that direction. I’m not staying too out of shape at all times. That’s the key there. I’ve stuck to that.”
Urijah Faber isn't ready to go on a title run but he is interested in coming back to the UFC if the fights make sense. Cub Swanson is a fun fight for him and one that he would return for.
“To be honest, I have a hard time turning down a good time,” Faber said. “There have been 11 or 12 guys who have called me out over the last couple of years. Cub is actually a friend of mine. I would consider him somebody that it would be an honor to fight. It would make sense the way that he would put it. He was talking about coming down to 135 (pounds) for the first time. I like that part of it. Right now, that’s the one that really stands out. I don’t really have to fight, obviously. But I’m not opposed to it, and that sounds like a good time.”
