After suffering his career-first loss in April, the hyped bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr. is set for his octagon return.
On Noche UFC the 18-year-old will take on TUF 24 veteran Terrence Mitchell.
Rosas Jr. made his name as the youngest competitor on the UFC’s roster after winning a contract on DWCS last year. After winning his promotional debut with a first-round submission at UFC 282 in December 2022, he lost via unanimous decision against Christian Rodriguez in April.
Mitchell comes from a loss to Cameron Saiiman at UFC 290 in July.
