The California Kid Urijah Faber made a huge statement at UFC Fight Night 155 as he knocked out #15 ranked contender Ricky Simon at Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California in the first round.
It took all but 45-seconds for Faber to unload an overhand right on Simon to drop him and then follow up with a series of strikes until the referee had to step in. 40-Year old Faber returned to the Octagon after two-years.
After the fight, Faber called out current UFC bantamweight and flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.

This didn’t take long for Cejudo to respond and he took to Twitter and said that he could be the next legend to bend the knee before him.
Careful what you wish for my corn-rolled princess. You could be the next legend to bend the knee to Triple C. https://t.co/j5NcVrEoqz

“Careful what you wish for my corn-rolled princess. You could be the next legend to bend the knee to Triple C.” Henry tweeted.
Then the war of words intensified on Social Media and Faber said that Cejudo will be lying on the Canvas if they fought.
