Urijah Faber defeats Brad Pickett in final fight

— -- SACRAMENTO -- It's been more than eight years since Urijah Faber held a world title. And yet, it still kind of feels as if he's 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.
