Raul Rosas Jr. Returns, Meets Terrence Mitchell at UFC Fight Night 227

Bantamweight prospect Raul Rosas Jr. will attempt to bounce back from the first loss of his professional tenure when he faces Terrence Mitchell at UFC Fight Night 227.

The 135-pound booking was first reported by ESPN Deportes. UFC Fight Night 227 takes place on Sept. 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a flyweight title rematch between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.

Rosas Jr. generated a great deal of buzz when he earned a UFC contract at 17 years old after besting Mando Gutierrez on Dana White’s Contender Series last year. He submitted Jay Perrin in the opening round of his Octagon debut at UFC 282, but dropped a three-round verdict to Christian Rodriguez in his last outing at UFC 287.

Mitchell, meanwhile, had an 11-bout winning streak snapped in his promotional debut, when he suffered a first-round TKO defeat to Cameron Saaiman at UFC 290.
