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

The announcement was made last 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.
