Ultra popular WEC fighter Urijah Faber told Sherdog.com that he will be back in action sometime in November.

"I was doing some kickboxing and takedowns and my leg got yanked from the outside in ... They said it was an atypical injury to my MCL. My MCL kind of peeled away from the bone. They told me I wouldn't need surgery, but I'd be out four to six weeks. I was able to do some stuff without twisting it, so I was able to work out, do physical therapy and stay in shape. It's been six weeks since I hurt my leg, this was supposed to be a six-week injury and I had my first full week of practice last week."

What kind of fight is the California Kid looking for?

"Where I'm at right now, I'm just having a great time and fighting my heart out ... I just want fights that make sense. (A fight with Miguel) Torres would be bigger for me right now than (fighting WEC bantamweight champion Dominick) Cruz. There are all kinds of fights I can do right now and can go back up to 145. I feel like I can do well against most anybody at 145 and I'd be willing to go to 155 at some point."

I guess the move down in weight to 135 may not be something that Faber wants to do. The possibility of moving to 155 intrigues me as that may be his way of getting into the UFC -- and the bigger pay days a fighter with his type of name recognition could command.
