The essentials
The previous higher figure and four-part income split had no documented calculation. The current page uses a named $9 million outside estimate while making its evidentiary limit explicit. [1]
Faber’s best documented single UFC payday is $340,000 in disclosed show-and-win money plus a separate $50,000 performance bonus in July 2019. One disclosed card does not establish total career earnings. [6]
A 2016 interview confirms an early 50-50 gym arrangement and more than a dozen ventures, but not his current ownership, revenue, debt or company values. [8]
Career · Personal life · Fight pay · Business · Now
Urijah Faber’s financial story spans three different roles: fighter, gym builder and promoter. His WEC title run and later UFC career made the name valuable; Team Alpha Male turned that reputation into a durable training platform; A1 Combat and Combat U now extend it into events and athlete development. Public sources verify each role, but rarely disclose its economics.
This rebuild replaces the unsupported previous estimate, invented annual business income and fictional career ledger with a current $9 million secondary estimate and a smaller set of traceable facts. Disclosed fight pay remains a partial regulatory number; company activity proves business involvement, not private wealth. Celebrity Net Worth — Urijah Faber · Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The champion
Five WEC defenses made the California Kid a national name
Faber came from NCAA Division I wrestling at UC Davis and developed into a complete mixed martial artist. He won the WEC featherweight championship in 2006 and made five successful consecutive defenses, a run that helped put lighter weight classes in front of a national audience.

The WEC success did not turn into a UFC title. Faber challenged for UFC bantamweight gold but never won the promotion’s championship. That distinction now appears plainly: he was a WEC world champion and later a perennial UFC contender, rather than a UFC champion. UFC — Urijah Faber athlete profile · UFC — Faber joins Hall of Fame
The UFC’s current record page lists 35 wins and 11 losses, with 10 knockouts, 17 submissions and eight decisions. His last MMA bout remains the December 2019 loss to Petr Yan. Later grappling and wrestling appearances are separate sports and do not extend the MMA record. UFC — Urijah Faber athlete profile
02 / Personal life
Jaslyn, Cali and Rome are the established family facts
ESPN identified Jaslyn Ome as Faber’s fiancée when their daughter Cali was an infant in 2019. A current Sacramento Bee report from January 2026 names Jaslyn as the mother of Cali and Rome and shows the family attending his exhibition. Reliable current reporting does not clearly establish whether the couple later married, so this profile does not upgrade the relationship label on inference alone.

Faber has two children: daughter Cali and son Rome. In January 2026 they were six and five and attended one of their father’s bouts for the first time. Their ages and names satisfy the useful family context; further details about minors are outside the financial or career purpose of the profile. Sacramento Bee — Faber competes at A1 Combat 33
That separation matters for the estimate too. Jaslyn’s own work and property cannot be assigned to Faber, while private household finances, ownership arrangements and liabilities remain unknown.
03 / Fight pay
Regulatory purses show only part of the career
For the July 2019 win over Ricky Simon, California disclosures showed $170,000 to appear and $170,000 to win. UFC also awarded a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, bringing the publicly identified event compensation to $390,000 before taxes, management, camp and other expenses.

The pay scale had changed sharply from the WEC years. For WEC 46 in January 2010, California data showed a $62,000 purse, and UFC announced a separate $10,000 knockout bonus. MMA Fighting cautioned that commission figures may not represent final earnings, because other bonuses and contract items can remain undisclosed. MMA Fighting — WEC 46 salaries
The old page converted scattered bouts into annualized million-dollar income rows. Those rows are removed. Show money, win bonuses, discretionary payments, sponsorship, pay-per-view participation and expenses varied by contract and jurisdiction; no complete career ledger is public.
04 / Business
Team Alpha Male created a platform, not a public valuation
Faber began building his gym while still fighting. In a 2016 Forbes interview, he said an investor funded the original concept in a 50-50 arrangement and described more than a dozen businesses. That historical statement does not prove his current percentage in Ultimate Fitness or the survival and value of every venture he named. Forbes — Faber’s gym and businesses
Team Alpha Male became an internationally known fight camp and developed champions and contenders. Its sporting success strengthens the Faber brand, but the UFC profile supplies no membership revenue, profit, ownership schedule or valuation. Team reputation therefore belongs in the business case, not as a guessed asset figure. UFC — The Team Alpha Male way
Faber launched A1 Combat in 2022, and its official site documents an active 2026 schedule. KCRA currently calls him a co-founder and owner. The promotion’s event count and UFC Fight Pass distribution prove operations; without financial statements, ticket settlements or cap-table data, they do not reveal his personal profit or company value.

Promoting, coaching and competing remain separate roles
Combat U, created with Sacramento State, combines university enrollment with training in wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu. Faber is its architect and executive coach. A February 2026 university feature confirms the program remains active and attracts students internationally; it does not publish his pay or ownership because it is a partnership program, not a disclosed personal asset. Sacramento State — Combat U launch · Sacramento State — Combat U in 2026
In January 2026, Faber won a combat-jiu-jitsu exhibition against Francisco Rivera Jr. at A1 Combat 33. The following month he lost an 11-0 technical fall to Henry Cejudo in Real American Freestyle. These events show current competitive activity, while his UFC profile still lists him as not fighting and his last MMA bout in 2019.

The resulting wealth conclusion is deliberately limited. A long fight career and several operating platforms support a multimillion-dollar estimate, but current equity, event profitability, salary, property values, debt and taxes remain private. Those missing inputs prevent an audited or confidently additive total.
