Barcelos picked to edge Rosas in UFC Fight Night preview
The 26 September Las Vegas card is scheduled to feature Raul Rosas Jr. against Raoni Barcelos, with CBS Sports tipping the veteran by split decision.
Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos are scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on 26 September. The supplied preview does not confirm whether the event has taken place or report a result.
CBS Sports describes the bout as a test between a 21-year-old contender and a 39-year-old veteran. Rosas is listed at 13–1, while Barcelos is 22–5 and enters on a five-fight winning streak, according to the outlet.
The preview says Rosas’s wrestling will be central to the contest, while Barcelos could hold an advantage on the feet. CBS Sports also points to the five-round distance as a test for Rosas.
CBS Sports predicts Barcelos to win by split decision, reasoning that he could take enough rounds with his striking if he keeps the fight standing. That is the outlet’s forecast, not an official outcome.
The scheduled co-main event is a women’s bantamweight bout between Norma Dumont and Ailin Perez. CBS Sports characterises it as having title implications.
