Urijah Faber
Faber knows that there is a title shot around the corner for him, but he doesn’t want to think about that right now. He has his eyes set on taking out Raphael Assuncao at WEC 46 on Sunday night.
“I don’t want to get too excited about fighting Aldo yet because I’ve got another hard-headed Brazilian to try and throw around. We’ll see how that goes. I’m expecting a great performance and hopefully have the belt by midway through 2010,” Faber told the media on a conference call on Tuesday.
In his last fight, Faber lost to Mike Brown, suffering a dislocated thumb and broken right hand.
“I’m excited to get back in there,” said Faber. “It’s been a while for me. It’s been six months and a lot of recovery and stuff for me with my hands.”
