A bantamweight matchup is on tap for the UFC’s June 13 event.
Jordan Espinosa will face Mark De La Rosa. MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup after an initial report from The Schmozone. The event does not yet have an official location or broadcast/streaming information.
Espinosa (14-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC), a “Dana White’s Contender Series” alum, has dropped his last two in a row to Matt Schnell and Alex Perez. He was scheduled to face newcomer Zhalgas Zhumagulov on the June 13 event originally scheduled in Kazakhstan before the coronavirus outbreak forced a change in location.
Espinosa will look to avoid a three-fight losing streak when he faces De La Rosa in his first 135-pound bout in the UFC.
After picking up back-to-back wins over Elias Garcia and Joby Sanchez, De La Rosa (11-4 MMA, 2-6 UFC) has lost his last three in a row. He has competed at both 125 and 135 pounds during his UFC tenure.
