UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr makes his return to action at UFC Mexico City against Vince Morales.
First reported by ESPN.
Rosas Jr (10-1) returns to the octagon for the first time since September 2024 when he beat Aoriqileng at Noche UFC. That capped off a three-fight win streak with wins over Ricky Turcios and Terrence Mitchell.
