MMA legend Urijah Faber returns to headline A1 Combat 21

MMA legend Urijah Faber is returning to headline A1 Combat 21.

Faber (35-11 MMA) retired from MMA in 2016 after defeating Brad Pickett (25-14 MMA) by unanimous decision. Making a comeback in 2019, ‘The California Kid’ fought and defeated Ricky Simon (20-5 MMA) by TKO. That same year, Faber got in the cage with Petr Yan (16-5 MMA) at UFC 245 but lost by a third round TKO.

The now 44-year-old Faber, after more than 4 years out of competition, will be headlining A1 Combat 21 on Saturday, May 25th, at the Visalia Convention Center in California, his opponent is yet to be determined.

In a video posted to ‘Instagram‘ A1 Combat shared the official announcement:
