Urijah Faber and Michael McDonald’s humorous pre-fight text exchange

Although Urijah Faber blasted and choked out his opponent at Saturday’s UFC on FOX 9 event, fellow bantamweight Michael McDonald got in a solid jab before the event.

Faber, who earned a second-round submission victory in their co-headlining bout, today shared a screenshot of the exchange. Both fighters were on the UFC’s group text list to communicate event updates, and the topic soon turned to fight-night hairdos.

Check out the details above.

Despite Faber’s dominant win over the 22-year-old, the vet was as gracious in victory as he’s been in his few defeats. As he told McDonald via Twitter: “Great fight last night @MaydayMcDonald keep up the great attitude! @ufc #success”
