Though Ivan (Pride of El Salvador) Menjivar’s rematch with Urijah (California Kid) Faber is seven years in the making, he views it as just another fight.
“We are professionals. This is not personal,” Menjivar said over the phone. “So for me, it’s just another fight.
“The less feeling you have in the ring, the better the fight. We are two professional athletes. We are fighting and we will show the people what we can do.”
Menjivar and Faber will meet for a second time on the main card of UFC 157 in Anaheim, Calif., Saturday. The event will be headlined by a women’s bantamweight title fight between Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche. Also, Dan Henderson meets Lyoto Machida.
