Now we\u2019ll be able to staff, put guys on, make them more comfortable so they can be hands-on a lot more, spend more time with the fighters, be more involved and make the scene even better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll have a scholarship program now,\u201d Faber continued. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a little bit of a recruiting budget and we have guys that we\u2019re trying to pull in and build the team throughout, from 105-pound girls to the heavyweight guys. We\u2019ve been looking to grow the team and make the best team in the world through and through. He\u2019s also incorporating a discretionary bonus system, which has kind of gone away with the new ownership with the UFC. You may end up with a check in your mailbox \u2014 that\u2019s the way it used to be with the UFC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last part is we have our own aviation partnership now, so private flights for fight-related things, for friends and family and teammates while we\u2019re going across the west coast on the fight scene, so it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"730\" height=\"380\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cody-Garbrandt-urijah-faber-team-alpha-male.png\" alt=\"ufc champion team alpha male\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-215374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cody-Garbrandt-urijah-faber-team-alpha-male.png 730w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cody-Garbrandt-urijah-faber-team-alpha-male-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cody-Garbrandt-urijah-faber-team-alpha-male-585x305.png 585w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cody-Garbrandt-urijah-faber-team-alpha-male-390x203.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 6\/13\/2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC fighter Urijah Faber is continuing to change MMA despite his retirement earlier this year.
