Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by Urijah Faber for a wide-ranging conversation about his continued impact on the sport — both as a competitor and a coach. Faber talks about still competing at 46 years old, including his upcoming combat jiu-jitsu and wrestling matchups scheduled for January and February of 2026. The UFC Hall of Famer explains how his mindset has evolved at this stage of his career and why staying active continues to fuel his passion for competition. Urijah also dives into his role coaching Song Yadong and explains why Song’s upcoming matchup with Sean O’Malley at UFC 324 could be the perfect moment for the best version of Song to emerge. Beyond the bantamweight title picture, Faber lays out how a win over “Suga” could mark a turning point for Song on a global level — and the start of his rise as a true national icon.
