Unfortunately, Rosas pulled out of the bout, citing illness, therefore it never happened. The much-heralded bantamweight prospect was unable to compete due to an illness, and their bout with Turcios was called off shortly before they were supposed to make their way to the cage.
Rosas’ bout with Turcios has been rescheduled for March 2 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on the UFC Vegas 87 card, which is only one week away from now; definitely not the best possible situation.
