Faber returns this February against Lee

Former WEC featherweight champion and current UFC bantamweight contender Urijah Faber is set to return to the Octagon against Englishman Vaughan Lee at UFC 156.

The bout will be Faber's first since his decision loss to Renan Barao for the interim bantamweight title at UFC 149 on July 21, 2012.

The event takes place on February 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Since the WEC and UFC merger, "The California Kid" has seen mixed results within the organization, going an even 2-2. His two losses have been in title fights, the first being against current 135 lb. champ Dominick Cruz.

Meanwhile, Lee is 1-2 in the UFC, with his last fight ending in a submission loss against T.J Dillashaw at "UFC on Fuel: Munoz vs Weidman." His lone victory came against "Kid" Yamamoto at UFC 144 when he won by armbar.

The current card for UFC 156 is headlined by featherweight champion Jose Aldo and former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar.
