Urijah Christopher Faber[4] (born May 14, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist and actor who is signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He competed as a bantamweight and formerly competed as a featherweight. He is also the founder of Team Alpha Male.
Faber was an NCAA wrestler. With his base in wrestling, he later started Brazilian jiu-jitsu and quickly earned a brown belt under Fábio "Pateta" Prado.[5] Faber won the WEC Featherweight Championship at WEC 19 on March 17, 2006, and held the title for over two years until losing it to Mike Brown at WEC 36 on November 5, 2008. He went on to challenge for the WEC Featherweight Championship two more times and challenged for the UFC Bantamweight Championship four times.
Faber is widely regarded as one of MMA's pioneers for establishing legitimacy to lighter-weight classes.[6] After his retirement on July 6, 2017, Faber was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame as a part of the Modern-era wing. He came out of retirement in 2019 and defeated Ricky Simón by first-round TKO
Marcos da Matta, also known as ‘Parrumpinha’ or ‘Parrumpa’, was one of the top Brazilian jiu-jitsu super featherweights of the late 1990’s/early 2000’s having medalled in the world championship. This Carlson Gracie black belt would join the American Top Team at a later stage and become one of the world’s most prestigious grappling coaches.

The fact that he had that performance against a still prime Parrumpinha is super impressive. Marcos was an absolute MONSTER back then.
