Aldo vs Faber fight.
Right from the beginning, Aldo (only 23 years old) had the advantage over Faber who is obviously a great fighter. But the speed, tenacity, and powerful kicks of Aldo ended up being too much for Faber to handle after a long, 5 round battle in the cage.

When the Mixed Martial Arts promotion, World Extreme Cage Fighting (WEC) signed this 5’6 kid from Sacramento, they had no idea just what they had stumbled onto. Urijah Faber was this stocky little guy with bright blond curly hair, the sort of hair that wouldn’t look out of place on your stereotypical surfer dude. By the time Faber was signed to the WEC he was already 12-1 and was the current King of the Cage Bantamweight champion as well as the former Gladiator Challenge Lightweight champion. Urijah’s first fight in the WEC was against Cole Escovedo for WEC Featherweight championship. This was back during the time when fighters didn’t necessarily have to build up a record with said promotion in order to win a title shot. Guys, like Faber, with decent records could come in and get an instant title shot.
