Tyson Nam shared a funny story about what happened prior to the 2019 bout between Faber and Simon. In 2019, Urijah Faber came out of a two and a half year retirement to fight Ricky Simon in his hometown of Sacramento, California. Apparently, backstage prior to that contest, Simon managed to pull a bit of a prank on his opponent, who badly needed a restroom at the time.

Simon s teammate Tyson Nam shared the funny story in an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri.

Ricky Simon was fighting. We were inside of those training rooms. It was pre-COVID so everyone had to share a training room. Urijah Faber comes in this was before their fight, Nam shared. He was running around trying to find a restroom. I guess he had to go really bad.

Ricky goes, Go out the door, go around the corner and keep on following it. You ll find a bathroom. We ve never even been down that hallway so we didn t even know where Urijah got led to, Nam laughed. He actually followed Ricky s directions so we dipped out the other way and went let s go, let s go.

Faber might have had the last laugh that night though, as he ended up picking up a 46-second TKO win over Simon later in the evening.
