"After going on a media tour in the country last year, Urijah Faber has returned to the Philippines. This time, the former WEC featherweight champion is promoting his upcoming headliner against Frankie Edgar, wherehe moves back to the division after 5 years at 135 lbs.
"In the last few years, I've been cutting a lot of weight, so that has been somewhat of a focus. On this situation I can actually eat what I want and gain a little weight," Faber toldBloodyElbow.com as he spoke about the big changes he will be making. "The other thing is, I will have to adjust to the time.
"I've already given it some thought," he said. "Since I'll be fighting around 10am, that's actually about 30 minutes after our pro practice starts in the morning in Sacramento, so it won't be too difficult to me. I will just have to start getting up earlier and getting up adjusted to the time a little bit."
While most people account for jet lag and travel time as a major factor, Faber says the biggest change here would really be with the switch in divisions....."
