A main card bantamweight clash between Raul Rosas
Jr. and Ricky
Turcios slated for
UFC Fight Night 237 has been pulled from the card at the last
minute.
The bout was canceled due to Rosas Jr. falling ill. According to
the broadcast team, the 19-year-old prospect did his best to make
the walk to the Octagon but it was ultimately determined that he
would be unable to compete.
While it has yet to be confirmed, the promotion is trying to keep
the booking intact and reschedule it for
UFC Fight Night 238, which goes down a week later on March 2 at
the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Rosas, who is the youngest fighter on the roster, is coming off a
first-round TKO win over Terrence
Mitchell last September. Meanwhile, Turcios is coming off a
split-decision win over Kevin
Natividad and has gone 2-1 in the UFC since his debut in 2021.
