Raul Rosas Jr. cleared the air with Ricky Turcios at UFC on ESPN 57, but thinks his opponent made a mistake if he told him the truth about his health after their fight.
In the feature bout at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., Rosas Jr. submitted Turcios in the second round with a rear-naked choke, capping off a fight with exciting ground scrambles.
There was tension between the two fighters, more from Turcios’ side than Rosas Jr., who was upset that the 19-year-old pulled out of their February booking in Mexico City due to illness. Turcios refused a glove touch and cursed at Rosas Jr. before offering a defiant kick to start the fight.
