A bantamweight matchup is on tap for the UFC’s June 13 event.
[autotag]Jordan Espinosa[/autotag] will face [autotag]Mark De La Rosa[/autotag]. 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.
