After his recent loss to the champion Jose Aldo Jr., former champion and fan favorite Urijah Faber is about to make a drop to a new division. While he was getting healthy from that insane looking battered leg, he gave thought about his next trip to the cage. As rumored (and broken down by us), a drop to the 135 lb bantamweight division is in store, as he told PRO MMA Radio.
“From the sound of things, they want me to go down to 35. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time — go down and have some fights down there. So, I’ll probably have a couple of fights down there and maybe go back up to 45; we’re not real sure yet.”
Adam Merkado-Weiss is an office professional by day and an MMA machine by night. He lives in White Plains, NY and is a blue belt under Andre "Gigueto" Soares at Infinite MMA. When he's not blogging about or training in the sport, he's probably watching it on TV. Adam's favorite fighters are Urijah Faber, Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira, and Thiago Alves. His favorite Jiu-Jitsu fighter is Jeff Glover. 
135 is the right place for him. I predict he will hold the belt by 2011.
