UFC Hall Of Famer Urijah Faber On Working With Kinektic On UFC Fight Pass & Upcoming Plans
Although he was a 2017 inductee into the UFC Hall Of Fame, Urijah Faber is currently active as a UFC fighter. In fact, following his recent victory over Ricky Simon at UFC Fight Night 155, Faber became the first ever UFC Hall Of Famer to win a UFC bout after being inducted into such. He also won the Performance Of The Night Award as part of that same UFC Fight Night 155 event.
Yet Urijah Faber has plenty going on outside of the UFC Octagon. For starters, over the summer it was announced that Faber was a co-founder of the new Kinektic MMA promotion, which debuted on UFC FIGHT PASS on August 16th. Kinektic is a team-based, submission-based grappling promotion, and its notable team coaches include Chael Sonnen, Craig Jones, Anthony Smith and Chris Lytle.
I spoke with Urijah Faber by phone on August 16, 2019, right before the launch of Kinektic. The full chat — which includes plenty of discussion about Faber’s entrepreneureal background — is embedded below for your listening pleasure. Faber can be followed on social media via @UrijahFaber, while more on Kinektic as a whole can be found online by visiting www.ufcfightpass.com.
