Ranked No.1 in the division, the former collegiate wrestler is currently riding a three-fight win streak and looking to get one step closer to another title shot opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Faber (37-7-0, fighting out of Sacramento, California, USA) will be making his inaugural featherweight debut. The California Kid, currently ranked No.3 in the bantamweight division, has won six of his last seven fights and has never lost a non-title fight. His experience in the Octagon has seen him go the five round championship distance five times against Dominick Cruz, Jose Aldo, Mike Brown and twice against Renan Barao.<\/p>\n<p>Faber comments: <em><strong>\u201cI feel like it\u2019s rare in this sport to have the ability, the opportunity and the fortune of having super fights at multiple weights. I started in this sport because I love it. I love the challenge and I love to perform. Fighting a guy like Frankie Edgar is exactly the reason I got into this sport. I\u2019m a fan of the heart Frankie has as a fighter, something I\u2019m known for as well. I was a 145 lb. champion and he was a 155 lb. champion so it\u2019s cool for me to be able to make this fight, one for the history books. I plan on winning and putting on a show in the process.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UFC makes its much anticipated live event debut in Manila when it brings the Octagon to the Mall of Arena Asia on Saturday, May 16.
