Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Vince Morales: UFC Mexico Bantamweight Showdown

MMA news

This article provides live updates for the UFC Mexico event, focusing on the bantamweight fight between Raul Rosas Jr. and Vince Morales, scheduled for Saturday at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City.

Raul Rosas Jr. quickly gained attention after signing with the UFC at just 18 years old, following an impressive victory on Contender Series. As the youngest fighter in the UFC, Rosas proved his potential by securing a first-round submission win in his debut against Jay Perrin. Despite a loss to Christian Rodriguez, “El Niño Problema” has since achieved three consecutive victories, solidifying his position as a serious contender in the 135-pound division.

Vince Morales, previously with Bellator, initially missed UFC entry through Contender Series in 2018 but joined the promotion later that year. After a debut loss to Song Yadong and a 3-4 record, Morales was released in 2022. However, he rebounded with five consecutive wins outside the UFC, earning a second chance in the octagon last year. Unfortunately, his return has been challenging, with two consecutive losses putting him at risk of another UFC departure if he loses this Saturday`s fight.
