Kevin “The Angel of Death” Aguilar (17-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC)
Featherweight (145lbs): 2-2 (UFC)
Lightweight (155lbs): 0-0 (UFC), 1-0 (DWTNCS)
Kevin Aguilar is a Dana White’s Contender Series alum that stepped up and won a lightweight fight in order to score a UFC contract. That DWCS fight was Kevin’s first lightweight fight since 2013. Kevin Aguilar is 31 years old, stands at 5’7″ and has a 73″ reach. Aguilar is coming off a first-round finish loss to Zubaira Tukhugov in February at UFC Auckland. Aguilar’s UFC on ESPN 10 bout with Charles Rosa was announced June 4 so it’s safe to say that had quite a bit to do with the bout being held at lightweight.
Charles “Boston Strong” Rosa (12-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC)
Featherweight (145lbs): 3-4 (UFC)
Lightweight (155lbs): 0-0 (UFC), Scheduled to make UFC debut
Charles Rosa is 33 years old, stands at 5’9″ and posses a 69″ reach. Rosa’s entire UFC career, since his debut in 2014, has been in the featherweight weight class. Rosa’s last fight was just last month at UFC 249 where he lost a unanimous decision to Bryce Mitchell. Rosa’s fight with Kevin Aguilar was announced June 4 so again, it’s safe to say that had quite a bit to do with the bout being held at lightweight.
UFC on ESPN 10 takes place this Saturday, June 13, and airs live on ESPN and ESPN+.
