Chris Taylor - February 25, 2016
When news broke that UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos had suffered an injury and was forced to pull out of his UFC 196 main event fight with Conor McGregor, many fighters decided to throw their name in the hat for the short-notice fight.

Urijah Faber planning to retire at the top as UFC champion?
Russell Ess - February 10, 2016
Is Urijah Faber’s career coming to an end soon? Faber’s Team Alpha Male teammate Cody Garbrandt seems to think that it might be the case, with “The California Kid” taking a bow at the top of the game. Garbrandt spoke on the Submission Radio show about his mentor’s future in fighting (transcribed by Bloody Elbow): “If Urijah would be the champion I think he would beat Cruz in the next fight. We talked about it before, he’ll go out as champion, retire,” Garbradt said. “Urijah has done so much for the sport and been a world champion, he’s been the Featherweight king at the WEC – and people seem to forget Urijah ruled that era for a very long time, fought some of the best fighters. What else would he have to prove? You win the title and go out, storybook ending. Boom, done.”
