SACRAMENTO -- Its been more than eight years since Urijah Faber held a world
title.
Cheap Wyatt Teller Jersey . And yet, it still
kind of feels as if hes going out on top.The California Kid put on one final
show for his hometown on Saturday, defeating Brad Pickett via unanimous decision
at UFC Fight Night inside Golden 1 Center. All three judges scored it a 30-26
blowout for Faber.Faber, 37, announced prior to the fight that it would be the
last of his 13-year career. He maintained that stance on Saturday, despite the
one-sided victory.This life experience has been amazing. I feel like I got my
Ph.D. in real life, Faber said. Im ready to go forward and some big things.
Thank you to Brad Pickett who is an absolute warrior.The signature moment of the
fight happened in the first round, when Faber dropped Pickett (25-13) with a
wicked left hook in the pocket. Pickett fell to his back and looked up blankly.
Faber followed him to the ground and followed up the knockdown with big shots,
but Pickett survived.Later on in the second frame, Faber looked for one of his
signature guillotine chokes in the midst of a scramble. Pickett managed to
survive that too and even dropped Faber with a left hand in the final round, but
Faber popped back up and smiled.According to Fightmetric, Faber outlanded
Pickett in total strikes 89 to 20. He is just six months removed from fighting
for the UFCs bantamweight title in June but had also lost three of his last four
going into Saturday.Its such a surreal experience, said Faber, on hanging up his
gloves. I love doing this. Theres nothing like it in the world. But Im ready to
move forward.Faber will be remembered as a pioneer for the lower weight classes.
Prior to the UFC adding 125-, 135-, and 145-pound weight classes in 2011, Faber
was the face of the WEC promotion, which focused exclusively on those divisions.
He won the WEC featherweight title in 2006 and defended it five times.His
attempt to win back that WEC title in 2010 against Jose Aldo headlined the only
pay-per-view event in WEC history. Between 2008 and 2016, Faber fought in seven
world title fights between the WEC and UFC but came up short in each one.He is
the founder of Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, which currently houses the likes
of Cody Garbrandt and Paige VanZant, among others. He finishes with 19 career
wins by submission and seven via knockout.Gall keeps winning, stops Northcutt in
Round 2Welterweight Mickey Gall (4-0) dropped Sage Northcutt (8-2) with a right
hand in the second round, which he quickly turned into a rear-naked choke
finish.Prior to the submission, Gall, of New Jersey, might have accomplished an
even bigger feat, as he appeared to anger the notoriously upbeat Northcutt.In
the opening round, Northcutt gained top position in a scramble and then stood up
over Gall and animatedly gestured for him to get up.In the second round,
Northcutt opened a cut over Galls right eye with a left hook. As blood started
to run down Galls face, Northcutt pointed toward it, smiled and said something
to Gall, who smiled back. Moments later, Gall landed a winging right hand in the
pocket that put Northcutt on the floor.Sticking with his tradition of calling
out opponents, the 25-year-old Gall revealed he intends to drop to lightweight
and would like to welcome back former welterweight Dan Hardy, who hasnt fought
since 2012.I think Im gonna drop to 155 [pounds], Gall said. I think I can go
down there and be a champion in a couple years. Id like to welcome back Dan
Hardy. Hes been saying he wants to come back and wants a marquee fight. I think
hes a legend, and Id love to fight him.Gall, who gained notoriety by calling out
and then dominating retired WWE star CM Punk earlier this year, is now 3-0 in
the UFC with three rear-naked choke finishes. Northcutt, who fights out of Katy,
Texas, falls to 3-2 in the UFC.Jouban dominates Perry for UD victoryWelterweight
Alan Jouban (15-4) halted the momentum of Mike Perry (9-1), as he handed him his
first pro defeat via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).Jouban, out of
Lafayette, Louisiana, dropped Perry with a counter left in the opening round and
again with a straight left in the second frame. Perry, who had never had a fight
go the distance before, wobbled Jouban with a head kick and a left hook early,
but his offense stalled as the fight progressed.A big reason for that was
Joubans body kicks, which piled up over the 15 minutes. By the third round,
Perry looked hesitant and couldnt let his hands go. Jouban utilized his reach
and height advantages, scored with more leg kicks and locked up the win.Jouban
improves to 6-2 in the UFC. Perry, who fights out of South Florida, drops to
2-1.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system,
including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League.
CLEVELAND -- Tristan Thompson has never been viewed as an elite shot blocker,
but that could be changing.As the Cavs prepare to host the Portland Trail
Blazers on Wednesday, Thompson is averaging 1.8 blocks per game -- more than
double his career mark of 0.8.He ranks in the top 10 in blocked shots after
finishing tied for 72nd last season. He enters Wednesday with at least three
blocks in four of the last eight games; he blocked at least three shots in four
of the Cavs 103 games last season.The last couple of years we just talked to him
about being a better rim protector and being in the right spots, coach Tyronn
Lue said. This year, he has come out and done it. Tristan has really found his
way defensively. We know hes a great inbound defender, great pick-and-roll
defender, great post defender. But now helping on the weakside, getting blocked
shots and protecting the basket has been great for us.Thompson earned his
five-year, $82 million contract prior to last season primarily for his defensive
work. He may be improved this season as a shot blocker, but he still takes the
most pride in his ability to switch onto smaller guards in pick-and-rolls. After
chasing around Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith and LeBron James every day, Thompson is
able to handle most other guards and wings.I hope they start giving some credit
to guys that can guard guards, Thompson said. I know thats not a stat, but that
should definitely count. Hopefully I get some credit and make sure you guys dont
forget about me when its time to put that name on the (All-Defensive) ballot.
Cheap Josh Allen Jersey. he Blazers,
meanwhile, are still waiting for their center to get healthy. Ezeli rejoined the
team Tuesday in New York after seeking a second opinion on his ailing left knee,
but the team provided no real update. Ezeli has yet to appear in a game for the
Blazers after receiving an injection in his knee in August that was supposed to
keep him sidelined for six weeks.Portland lost at New York, 107-103, Tuesday to
fall to a middling 8-8. It has been a disappointing start to the season for a
Blazers team that spent $250 million last summer to retain guards C.J. McCollum
and Allen Crabbe and add free agent Evan Turner. As a result, Wednesdays game
features the two top payrolls in the NBA.The Cavs are embarking on a title
defense with their $131 million, but the Blazers are off to a sluggish start
despite the summer spending spree and $120 million payroll.I think we are a very
average team right now and it shows in our record, McCollum said. The talent is
there, but we are not executing well.James missed practice for the Cavs on
Tuesday to give his deposition in former players union executive director Billy
Hunters wrongful termination lawsuit. James is the vice president of the players
union. The deposition is not expected to impact his availability for Wednesdays
game.
