When rumors starting coming out that Urijah Faber was looking to return to the Octagon, it appeared he and the UFC had a similar opponent in mind. That was Kron Gracie, the jiu-jitsu ace who is now 1-0 in the UFC and is set to take on Cub Swanson.

He says he has been thinking about a return for a while and knew it would eventually come. And, when the Las Vegas-based promotion made its return to Sacramento, he knew it was time:

“I’d been thinking about it for a while,” Faber told MMA Junkie. “I’d been teased with opportunities from the UFC throughout for some short-notice fights and whatnot, but there’s no secret I stayed within the USADA drug pool throughout my retirement time just because I want to be able to if I decide to jump in.

“I’m the kind of guy that follows his heart and the current landscape is exciting for UFC, for mixed martial arts in general and I was having a big FOMO. I’m in the gym every day testing myself against these guys and being around it.”

When the UFC first sent him an offer, it read the name of Kron Gracie. He was super interested in the fight, but it never came to fruition and he is now taking on Ricky Simon. Here’s what Faber had to say about it:

“They offered me the Kron Gracie fight and they said it would be the main event and I said, ‘Yeah, I would be interested in that,’” Faber said. “I know he trains with Nick and Nate Diaz. I don’t know how involved he is with them. I have a really good relationship with those guys and maybe that’s why the fight didn’t happen. Maybe he just didn’t feel like he wanted to do it in Sacramento during that time. He’s a bit of a unique cat. That was offered, they’d talked about Cub Swanson who they’d offered me a couple times in the past. When that was brought up they said no to that deal.”

Regardless, Urijah Faber is just excited to return to the Octagon this Saturday.

Germaine de Randamie Wants Amanda Nunes Rematch

Germaine de Randamie is set to headline UFC Sacramento when she takes on Aspen Ladd. There, many believe it is a number one contender fight, and should the Amanda Nunes vs Cris Cyborg rematch not materialize, then the winner would fight the Brazilian next.

Although the former featherweight champion made it clear her focus is only on Ladd for this fight, questions of a Nunes rematch kept coming up. And, finally, she gave her thoughts on it.

“Yes, absolutely (things would be different),” de Randamie said (h/t MMA Junkie). “I believe that’s the fight to make in a way. I’m very explosive, everybody knows that. I like to knock people out, Amanda likes to knock people out. She’s a wrecking machine, she is a true champion. I absolutely respect her, but I would love to face her again. It would be an honor for me to face her again. And even if it’s not a title fight, I would still love to meet her again in the Octagon.”

Amanda Nunes is no doubt the greatest women’s MMA fighter of all-time but de Randamie believes she is beatable and will be dethroned soon. And, the number one contender knows she has the skillset to do just that.

“I agree she’s one of the best fighters, but remember: Everyone is beatable, and as soon as a person comes and beats Amanda Nunes, they are the GOAT,” de Randamie said. “One thing is for sure, at this point right now in the last couple years, she has been the best UFC fighter. Without any doubt. She has proven it over and over again. But she is beatable. Everyone is beatable. So every time when somebody gets beat there’s a new GOAT, right? She’s the champion, she’s a true champion, and she’s an absolute world class. But she is beatable.”
