The return of Urijah Faber

Speaking of Urijah Faber (22-3 MMA; 7-2 WEC), the former WEC featherweight champion is finally set for his return to the cage after recovering from a severely broken hand suffered in a loss to 145-pound champ Mike Brown at WEC 41. Faber will face Raphael Assuncao (14-1 MMA; 2-0 WEC) at WEC 46 on January 11. That card is also rumoured – and I do mean rumoured – to be c0-headlined by a lightweight title unification bout between champ Jamie Varner and interim champ Benson Henderson.
