At 34 years old, ten of which as a professional MMA fighter, Urijah faber believes he is going through the best moment of his career.
Last Saturday (14), the “California Kid” resoundingly beat the promising Michael McDonald, 12 years younger, after submitting him in the second round of the UFC on Fox 9 co-main event. American Sherdog, Faber stated that his current moment is even better than four years ago, when he held the WEC belt in the featherweight category.
“I have to be the best fighter I've ever been, unless my confidence is shaken. I have a healthy lifestyle and I have been very lucky. I feel like I’m at 100% [of my conditions],” he commented. “Now, skills are increasing because I continue to learn, with an open mind. That’s what I’ll do until the moment I stop competing.”
However, Faber does not believe he will continue competing for many years. “I'm completely sure I could fight competitively in my 40s, but I don't want to do that. That’s a certainty,” he stated.
With the triumph over McDonald, Faber achieved the 30th victory of his career, the fourth in a row. His last defeat was in 2012, when he lost to the Brazilian Renan Barao.
