Urijah Faber apparently has the itch.

The former longtime featherweight champion has been out of action since a July bantamweight interim title fight loss to Renan Barao. But after a bit of an uncertain future and timetable for a return, he appears to be ready to get back to work.

Faber recently told FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight” that he hopes to return in the early part of 2013 and is hoping for a spot at UFC 156.
