Faber has been through it all, from refusing to quit after breaking both of his hands early in one fight to his three classic bouts with current UFC bantam- weight champ Dominick Cruz, including their title fight at UFC 199 in June. It was Faber, the Cali- fornia Kid, who brought attention to the lower weight classes in MMA at a time when media and fans were focused almost solely on the middleweights and heavyweights. Though he didn't make much money initially — "$200 to show up, $200 to win," Faber said — the Sac- ramento native was a big draw because fans were taken in by his style inside the octagon and his charm outside of it. Not much has changed over his 13-year career. Fa- ber (33-10) is almost cer- tain to receive a thunder- ous response from the crowd at GoldenOne Cen- ter when he walks to the cage to face Brad Pickett (26-12) on Saturday. The Faber-Pickett fight is on the undercard on the nationally televised show. The main event is a bout featuring strawweight con- tenders Paige VanZant — a Faber disciple ranked No. 8 in her division — and Mi- chelle Waterson. It's those walks down the aisle and through the crowd that Faber says he will miss the most. "The walks are the thing that you didn't expect com- ing into this and didn't imagine," Faber said. "That walk is a very unique time when everybody is focus- ing their energy on you, it's about you and thousands of people watching. I'll miss that." Faber acknowledged the decision to retire was diffi- cult but one that was made easier because of his other interests. He has invested in a clothing line, a sup- plement business and has a family construction com- pany to keep him busy. "Without a doubt, if I had no other means or con- fidence to survive without fighting I would proba- bly drag it out another de- cade," he said. "Some of my peers have done that. They did a great job but for me I feel like I can focus my time and energy and main- tain my health in the next phase." It's not as if Faber is leaving the MMA world entirely. Earlier this year he opened an Ultimate Fitness gym in Sacra- mento, a 22,000-square- foot facility that houses Faber's crew of fighters, Team Alpha Male. Faber plans to continue coaching and mentoring the young fighters. He also hasn't closed the door on a possible return to the ring himself, although it would have to be under the right conditions. "I'm very able-bod- ied and able-minded so I would never rule that out," Faber said. "But it's a if- you-don't-use-it-you-lose- it kind of deal. I'm curious how my desire will be to have a hard workout. I've done that for years. There are times when you love it and times when it's a grind. I'm curious how I'll feel." Faber FROM PAGE 1 2016 that his leukemia was no longer in remission. He said doctors told him the typical prognosis was three to six months to live, but "I am receiving the best treat- ment in the world and I re- main fully confident I will win this battle." Sager first announced in April 2014 that he had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, and he missed the playoffs and much of the following sea- son as he underwent two bone marrow transplants. NBA PLAYERS PLEASED ABOUT PROPOSED LABOR DEAL Washington Wiz- ards guard John Wall didn't even need to see the details of the tentative col- lective bargaining agree- ment between the NBA and its players before drawing his conclusion. "It's a lot better than hav- ing a lockout," Wall said. Such was the sentiment around much of the NBA on Wednesday night, when it was announced that the sides reached an agree- ment in principle on a new labor deal. All that remains before at least six more years of guaranteed NBA labor peace are ratification votes by owners and play- ers, which are likely to be no more than formalities. Basic details include in- creases in values of rookie- scale contracts and excep- tions, with a 45 percent increase in minimum sala- ries across the board in the first year of the new agree- ment. The rookie deals will be proportionate to the sal- ary cap, either rising or falling as that does. The average salary is expected to hit $8.5 million next sea- son and rise to $10 million by 2020-21. There's never been more money in basketball, and neither side wanted that disrupted. So on Wednes- day, one day before the deadline for either side to opt out of the current deal, negotiations were wrapped up and the sort of strife that caused some seasons to be shortened in the past was avoided with- out drama or fanfare. It was announced sim- ply, in a short statement. And then 10 games went on as scheduled, just as they will now for years to come. "The game is going great for both the owners and players," Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade said. "We talked about having a real partnership in the last labor negotiations. These are definitely signs that things are going in the right direction."

John Fassel. The Rams' de- fensive front caused prob- lems for Seattle in the first half but the Los Angeles of- fense provided zero help. Jared Goff was 13 of 25 for 135 yards before leaving in the fourth quarter to be checked for a possible con- cussion. The Rams finished with 183 total yards, but 90 of those came in the fourth quarter. QUIET GURLEY Los Ange- les running back Todd Gur- ley was again unable to get started in the run game, continuing a frustrating second season. Gurley was held to 38 yards on 14 car- ries. He did have a 22-yard run late in the second quar- ter that set up Greg Zuer- lein's 36-yard field goal, but it as just his second run of 20 yards or more this sea- son. Gurley had 11 runs of 20 or more yards last year. SACKATTACK Aftergetting no pressure on the quar- terback in the past three weeks, the Seahawks redis- covered their pass rush. Seattle had two sacks in the first half and finished with four after the Se- ahawks had five total sacks in the previous five weeks. Cliff Avril was the main culprit with 1 sacks, giv- ing him a career-high 11 for the season. INJURY REPORT Seat- tle defensive end Michael Bennett suffered a concus- sion in the fourth quarter on a collision with Gur- ley. A few plays later, Goff was taken from the game to be checked for a concus- sion after a sideline hit by Richard Sherman. He was replaced by Case Keenum. Even Seattle punter Jon Ryan got added to the in- jury list after suffering a possible concussion in the fourth quarter on a fake punt. Ryan ran 26 yards before bobbling the ball and getting hit in the hel- met falling to the turf. Up Next RAMS Los Angeles will return home to host San Francisco. SEAHAWKS Seattle will host Arizona in its final home game.
