Raul Rosas Jr. Withdraws From Noche UFC 3 Co-Main as UFC Seeks Replacement for Rob Font

The late scratch further disrupts a Mexico-focused lineup relocated to San Antonio.

Overview

  • MMA Fighting reported that Rosas was forced out of the Sept. 13 bout in San Antonio, following an initial social report from WristlockMMA.
  • The UFC is actively searching for a short-notice opponent for top-10 bantamweight Rob Font, with no replacement finalized yet.
  • After removing Rosas vs. Font, the promotion added Alexander Hernandez vs. Diego Ferreira to bolster the card.
  • Noche UFC 3 is set for the Frost Bank Center after being moved from Guadalajara due to venue issues, with Diego Lopes vs. Jean Silva remaining as the main event.
  • Rosas, a 5-1 UFC prospect on a four-fight win streak, exits a matchup against the No. 9-ranked Font, and his absence further trims Mexican representation on the card.
