The highly anticipated bantamweight clash between Raul Rosas Jr. and Vince Morales is set to take place at CDMX Arena in Mexico City this Saturday. This main card fight promises to deliver exciting action.
Raul Rosas Jr. quickly gained attention in the UFC after being signed at the young age of 18, following a notable victory on Contender Series. As the youngest competitor in the UFC, Rosas validated the hype surrounding him with a first-round submission win in his debut against Jay Perrin. Although he experienced a setback against Christian Rodriguez, “El Niño Problema” has since bounced back impressively, securing three consecutive victories and solidifying his position as a formidable contender in the 135-pound division.
Vince Morales, with a background in Bellator, initially faced rejection from the UFC through Contender Series in 2018. However, he successfully entered the promotion later that year, debuting with a loss to Song Yadong. Morales`s subsequent UFC record was 3 wins and 4 losses, leading to his release in 2022. Demonstrating resilience, Morales rebuilt his momentum with five consecutive wins outside the UFC, earning him a second chance in the octagon last year. Unfortunately, his return has been challenging, currently on a two-fight losing streak. Facing this critical juncture, another defeat on Saturday could lead to his departure from the promotion once again.
This bantamweight match between Raul Rosas Jr. and Vince Morales is definitely one to watch.
