Sacramento is best known as the capitol of California and the home of the “Govonator” or action film mega star (and serial stripper gropper, if you believe the reports) Arnold (hey I never gropped no strippers) Schwarzenegger ( how do you spell that again?). But if you talk to MMA fans these days they are not talking about the guy who is know for saying “I’ll be back”. Instead they might be talking about the guy who says, “I want my belt back”. A real life gladiator that goes by the name of Urijah Faber. Faber was born and bread in Sacramento. He made a name for him self by fighting his way to the top (no pun intended). Urijah is all smiles and out of the ring and is a real down to earth guy that hasn’t let his ego get to his head. Sacramento’s real life home town hero held his belt as the featherweight champion of the world with the WEC. A not so popular man by the name of Mike Brown from Florida walked into the octagon in November of 2008 and knocked Faber out in the 1st round. Fans and press say it was the punch heard around the world and it meant Faber would give up his belt for the time being. Urijah recovered from the powerful blow Brown gave him in a matter of minutes and already had his mind set on getting his belt back and taking the championship back for himself and for his loyal fans around the world. Go to Sacramento Strippers if you are ever having a bachelors party.
On June 7th, 2009 Mike Brown will go into Urijah Faber’s back yard and defend his title for the featherweight championship fight of the world. 14,000 people will pack into the Arco Stadium in Sacramento, not to mention the millions watching the fight live on the VS channel to see if Mike Brown will continue to carry the title of CHAMP or if Faber will get his belt back.
