Faber to Defend Against Curran in Dec.

World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight champion Urijah Faber (Pictures) will face the stiffest test of his career on Dec. 12, when the wrestler from Sacramento, Calif. faces well-traveled veteran Jeff Curran (Pictures) live on Versus.

The announcement was made Wednesday to coincide with news that WEC and Versus agreed to a extension on their partnership that would see an additional 15 live WEC events and 20 episodes of "WEC WrekCage" on the sports network.
