Hey, guess what? Raul Rosas Jr., the youngest fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is set to make a comeback. That’s right, he’s stepping back into the Octagon. And his opponent? None other than Ricky Turcios. The showdown is all set for UFC Mexico City.
Now, here’s the thing. Rosas Jr. didn’t just casually drop this news. No, he made it official in an interview with the UFC’s Spanish social media account. Talk about making a statement, right?
So, what’s the event? It’s UFC Fight Night 237. It’s happening on Feb. 24 at Mexico City Arena. And the main event? A flyweight clash between former champ Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi. But wait, there’s more. The co-main event is a rematch between former interim champ Yair Rodriguez and two-time title contender Brian Ortega. Sounds like a night full of action, doesn’t it?
But let’s get back to Rosas Jr. His last fight? A 54-second Round 1 technical knockout victory against Terrence Mitchell at UFC Fight Night 227. It happened this past September. But before that, he had his first professional loss against Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287. Tough break, but hey, that’s the game.
On the other side, we have Turcios. After winning Season 29 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” he’s had a 1-1 record in the Las Vegas-based promotion. He’s entering the Octagon against Rosas after more than a year. His last fight was a split-decision victory against Kevin Natividad at UFC Fight Night 215 in November 2022.
So, there you have it. A quick rundown of what’s coming up in the UFC world. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!
