Looks like Urijah Faber will be trying out his submission grappling skills once again. The former UFC fighter famous for his guillotine has a grappling match on schedule against one of the notorious Miyao brothers.
The unique match up in many ways resembles the Chad Mendes vs Jeff Glover – perhaps most of all in that it will be set in a Octagon as a part of the Chael Sonnen Submission Only event Submission Underground.
Faber told Submission Radio:
” I’m actually doing Submission Grappling match for Chael Sonnen’s organization here on May 14th on my birthday against Miyao brothers, one of the Miyao brothers – he’s like a five, six-time world champ – so I’m still in training daily.” – adding ” I’m excited. You know, Chad Mendes, he had a match not too long ago with a good friend of mine, Jeff Glover and you know, both world class grapplers in their own right, and I got to watch that and it was a pretty exciting ordeal. So I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu and competing as a grappler for twenty-something odd years between wrestling to Jiu Jitsu to both, so I’m no stranger to it. It’s kind of the same gig , you know, it’s a different set of rules but two guys going at it that are highly trained.”
