    How can you hate Faber? He’s genuinely an awesome guy. Dude got a bad wrap from TUF and Dom. Absolute legend in the game and an absolute dawg inside the cage. Don’t forget it!

    I live in 🇵🇭, I named my 1 kid after him. He came to the Philippines with the UFC, he had a meet and greet in the nearest mall near my house, when my boy was still a baby. We brought him, Urijah held him (picture and all). and now the thing is that 4 years before at my wife's and my reception , the song of our "first dance" as a married couple was Better Together - Jack Johnson ... I dont know how common that song is, but here in the Philippines it's not used that much. What a champion, but the mensch energy he gave off ever since is why 🙌🏽
