Report: Faber won't fight Fabiano in April

PrintEven though a report published by Tatame indicated Urijah Faber would fight Wagnney Fabiano in a 145-lb. clash for the WEC, sources close to Faber say it simply isn't true.
In the Tatame interview, Fabiano said his next fight would be April 5 in Chicago and Faber was a possible opponent -- on the contrary, says the anonymous source, who points out Faber isn't scheduled to fight this April.
It's extremely likely Faber will be selected to headline the WEC card in June when it takes place at Arco Arena, which is in Sacramento, Calif. "The California Kid" has only two fights left on his current WEC contract, and would like to re-negotiate before fighting for the featherweight title he lost to Mike Brown last November.

It’ll still happen at some point. I say give Fabiano one or two more matches (hopefully one where he’s co-headlining) while Urijah tries to get his belt back – if Urijah gets the winner of Mike Brown/Leonard Garcia, Waggney could fight the loser and be next in line for a title shot regardless.

They’d be rushing what should be a title fight anyway. It doesn’t make sense, it’s like having GSP fight Fitch before he fought Serra.
Exactly.

I said that fight was stupid
because it would encourage Waggney to Lay’n’pray. He’d be much better facing somebody he can exploit on the ground.
