EuroSports Netherland has reported that Raul Rosas Jr would collide against Christian Rodriguez in a bantamweight bout at UFC 287 PPV event.
Raul Rosas Jr set a new record in his inaugural UFC appearance. He defeated Jay Perrin via first-round submission and became the youngest fighter to win a UFC match. He made his way to UFC by defeating Gutierrez at Dana White’s Contender Series.
