Former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber is still considered by some to be the greatest 145-pound fighter in MMA history, but “The California Kid” remains in search of his first UFC title.

On Saturday, Faber will get his second crack at UFC gold in the form of an interim title bout with rising bantamweight star Renan Barao.
