The highly anticipated bantamweight fight between UFC prospect Raul Rosas Jr. and Ricky Turcios was abruptly cancelled just moments before they were set to step into the cage at UFC Mexico City. Rosas fell ill and had to withdraw from the fight, with the bout being rescheduled for next week at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.
Rosas, an 8-1 fighter and one of the rising stars in the sport, is known for his exciting fighting style. Hailing from California but representing Mexico, he made history as the youngest athlete to sign with the UFC at just 17 years old. With a record of 2-1 in the promotion, Rosas has shown he has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
On the other hand, Turcios, a 12-3 fighter from Texas, emerged as the winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” tournament in 2021. At 30 years old, Turcios possesses a wealth of experience and will be looking to make a statement in his upcoming fight against Rosas.
