Raul Rosas Jr. has his first assignment of 2025.
On March 29, Rosas Jr. (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) returns at UFC on ESPN 64 to take on Vince Morales. The event, headlined by Brandon Moreno vs. Steve Erceg, takes place at Arena CMDX in Mexico City, Mexico (ESPN, ESPN+). MMA Junkie confirmed the bantamweight booking following a first report from ESPN Deportes.
Rosas Jr. will look to extend his current winning streak to four. After a decision setback against Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287, Rosas Jr. picked up back-to-back Performance of the Night bonus-earning finishes of Terrence Mitchell and Ricky Turcios. In his most recent outing, Rosas Jr. won a unanimous decision over Aori Qileng at UFC 306.
Morales (16-9 MMA, 3-7 UFC) aims to get in the winning column for the first time on his second run in the promotion. After exiting the UFC in 2022, Morales ripped through the regional scene, notching five wins with four finishes to earn another shot on the big stage. However, since his return in September 2024, Morales has ended up on the wrong side of two decisions against Taylor Lapilus and Elijah Smith.
