Urijah Faber knows a thing or two about self-promotion. “The California Kid” became the breakout star of the WEC in the days before social media really took off by saying yes to just about every possible media opportunity presented to him and getting his name out to the public. So, when the former WEC featherweight champ sees the success other lighter-weight fighters have enjoyed in the current era, he can’t help but be glad to see what they’ve accomplished – even if it’s someone who has mastered the art of cringe, like Henry Cejudo . “Henry, he’s what everybody is doing,” Faber recently told MMA Junkie. “Taking a little bit of what is real about him and just blowing it up a bit.” The way Faber sees it, the Olympic wrestling gold medalist, current UFC bantamweight champion and former flyweight titleholder isn’t doing anything all that different to what Nick and Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor have done with great success. “I think the Diaz brothers are real, that’s why people love them,” Faber said.
