LAS VEGAS – There was some controversy behind it, but when Urijah Faber sees opportunity, he takes advantage.
Faber (32-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC) caught Francisco Rivera (10-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) with an accidental eye poke on Saturday at UFC 181, but when the referee didn’t halt the bout, and Rivera went toward a knee along the fence, Faber pounced.
Check out the video highlights above from the fight at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view after prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
