Germaine de Randamie and Aspen Ladd headline the UFC\u2019s return to Sacramento this coming weekend, in what is set to be a hard-hitting bantamweight match up.\u00a0 Former featherweight champion de Randamie comes in as the favourite, as the number one ranked contender against the fourth ranked Ladd, but a victory here is likely to result in a title shot later in the year for either fighter<\/p>\n
In the co-main event, Sacramento\u2019s own Uriah Faber returns to action against Ricky Simon.\u00a0 Although he formally announced the end of his fighting career back in 2016, Faber kept all his registrations up to date (USADA, Fight Commissions etc) so that if an interesting offer was made to him, he would be able to compete.\u00a0 And that is exactly what happened.\u00a0 Ricky Simon is part of the new wave of fighters, looking to establish themselves as the new go-to guys \u2013 and three wins from three UFC appearances show his quality<\/p>\n
