Raul Rosas Jr. Slated To Face 'TUF 29' Winner Ricky Turcios at UFC Mexico City

Raul Rosas Jr., the Ultimate Fighting Championship's youngest competitor, is set to return to the Octagon against Ricky Turcios at UFC Mexico City.

Rosas announced the matchup in an interview with the promotion’s Spanish social media account. UFC Fight Night 237 takes place on Feb. 24 at Mexico City Arena and is headlined by a flyweight clash between former champion Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi. The co-main event will feature a rematch between former interim champion Yair Rodriguez and two-time title contender Brian Ortega.

Rosas Jr.is coming off a 54-second Round 1 technical knockout victory against Terrence Mitchell at UFC Fight Night 227 this past September. Prior to that, Rosas Jr. sustained the first loss of his professional mixed martial arts career against Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287 via unanimous decision.

After winning Season 29 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Turcios has gone 1-1 in the Las Vegas-based promotion. The 30-year-old will enter the Octagon against Rosas more than a year after his split-decision victory against Kevin Natividad at UFC Fight Night 215 in November 2022.
