Urijah Faber has lost in his past five title fights, but he’s already back to competing in a main event after submitting Ivan Menjivar and has a chance to return to UFC title contention with another win.
At the TUF 17 finale, Faber will take on Scott Jorgensen in the event’s headlining bout.
Jorgensen recently rebounded from back-to-back losses by submitting John Albert at UFC on Fox 5. As the clock ticked down in the first round, Jorgensen caught Albert in a rear-naked choke and forced a tap quite literally at the horn.
On Saturday, Faber and Jorgensen will both attempt to take a step toward earning a rematch, whether it be against long-reigning champion Dominick Cruz or interim titleholder Renan Barao.
Let’s take a look at which veteran is more likely to continue their recent success.
