Faber, who hasn't fought since a 2019 knockout loss to Petr Yan, is set to headline RAF 6 on Feb. 28 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona. He acknowledges Cejudo's credentials—Olympic gold in freestyle wrestling and UFC titles at flyweight and bantamweight—but says experience and evolved grappling give him an edge.
The 35‑year‑old says he will avoid low singles and instead aim to throw Cejudo, relying on pressure and tactical adjustments. Cejudo, who retired after UFC 323, will look to defend his legacy against the seasoned veteran.
