Match Preview
With 81 professional fights between them, these two UFC veterans return to the Octagon to square off in a battle of experience. With both fighters coming off of disappointing performances in decision losses, both fighters realize this is a pivotal fight for both of them in determining their future relevancy in the UFC. As Faber announced this to be his last fight before retirement, it’s go out on a high note in front of his home crowd. For Pickett, it’s setting up for a strong finish for the 38 year old.
Tale of the Tape
Urijah Faber
Urijah Faber, representing Team Alpha Male, is entering the Octagon coming off of two straight losses via unanimous decision at the hands of the fleet-footed champion Dominick Cruz and most recently to Jimmie “El Terror” Rivera at UFC 203 in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame city. Faber comes into this bout with something to prove as he stops his two fight losing streak against heavy-handed Brad Pickett. Faber will try to use his quickness, mat control, and ground game to finish off the heavy handed Londoner and avoid his power. This fight will put the bookend on a career of 13 years in active combat competition.
Brad Pickett
Coming off a loss by triangle choke to Iuri Alcantara Submission (Triangle Choke), Brad, “One-Punch” Pickett will look to spoil Faber’s career finale. Pickett, who in street clothes can pass for “Mickey the Piker” from the Guy Ritchie movie “Snatch” has a similar fighting style, which attributes to his nickname. With UFC London coming in March of 2017, which could be One-Punch’s hometown last hurrah, Picket will look to impress Dana White with a strong outing today to solidify his chance of making the main card in 3 months.
The Ultimate Decision
Will Faber have a fairy tale ending to his legendary career, or will “One Punch” spoil the homecoming finale? You decide!

How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.
Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.
