Has anybody heard any news on Urijah Faber, like when he is going to fight again? I saw a clip that the Torres guy (can't think of his first name) wants to fight him, but let the fight build up a little more. Any news?
Nothing new, WEC has a card on August 3rd, with 3 title fights on the card, and a card set for September which only has the return of Paulo Filho and Filho vs Chael Sonnen II scheduled on it.
Expect to see him fighting again in the fall. There are a few guys on the WEC roster that might get a title shot, or he might be fighting somebody from the UFC LW division that drops down. Manny Gamburyan has been talking about wanting to fight Faber. Nothing has been announced yet.

Finally got an update on Faber <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Southeast fans have something to cheer about, as the region looks to get back-to-back UFC and WEC events all in one week. WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber (Pictures) will face challenger Mike Thomas Brown on Sept. 10, just four days after former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell (Pictures) (21-5) faces the undefeated Rashad Evans (Pictures) (11-0-1) at UFC 88 inside the Philips Arena in Atlanta. Sherdog.com confirmed the WEC 36 headliner through representatives for both fighters' camps Tuesday. The 145-pound tilt will likely go down at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla, the site of previous UFC Fight Nights and IFL events. The 29-year-old Faber (21-1) delivered what many consider the most regarded performance of his career in his sixth title defense against Jens Pulver (Pictures) on June 1. "The California Kid" unveiled an improving standup game against the former UFC lightweight champion at WEC 34 in front of a riled-up Sacramento hometown audience. The 5-foot-6 dynamo dished pro boxing vet Pulver punishment in numerous heated exchanges, then thwarted much of the Miletich fighter's return fire to the garner the unanimous decision after five rounds. American Top Team product Mike Brown (17-4) will appear to have the home advantage on Sept. 10. The Coconut Grove, Fla rep by way of Maine earned his shot at gold with a telling unanimous nod against Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Jeff Curran (Pictures), also at WEC 34. Brown is undefeated in his last seven bouts.</div>
