Overview
- Faber won by rear-naked choke at 3:42 in a single 10-minute round, replicating his prior submission of Rivera.
- The bout headlined an A1 Combat event in Sacramento and was presented as a combat jiu-jitsu exhibition.
- Because it was an exhibition under grappling-focused rules, the result does not count toward Faber’s MMA record.
- Their first meeting at UFC 181 ended by choke, with post-fight replays showing an eye poke that fueled interest in a rematch.
- Faber is slated for a wrestling match against Henry Cejudo at RAF 6 on February 28 in Tempe, Arizona.
