LAS VEGAS – Raul Rosas Jr. went back to his roots after enduring his first career loss.
Rosas (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was upset by Christian Rodriguez when he lost a unanimous decision in the main card opener of UFC 287 in April. Rosas had Rodriguez in trouble early when he almost submitted him with a rear-naked choke in Round 1, but then he was heavily outgrappled in Rounds 2 and 3.
After the loss, Rosas went back to his old wrestling coach, who he credits for helping him make strides in such a short amount of time.
