Rosas will face one other confirmed veteran in Aoriqileng, whose final combat led to a no-contest towards Daniel Marcos in February. Earlier than that, he gained three of his earlier 4 fights, together with a first-round knockout towards Cameron Else.

The Aoriqileng vs. Marcos combat led to a no-contest after an unintentional groin strike. The matchup wasn’t rescheduled following the anticlimactic ending.

Aoriqileng has fought at bantamweight and flyweight throughout his UFC tenure. After back-to-back losses to Jeff Molina and Cody Durden, he opted to make the full-time transition to bantamweight.

Rosas gained his UFC debut by submitting Jay Perrin at UFC 282. His subsequent combat towards Rodriguez snapped an eight-fight unbeaten streak to start his skilled profession.

Rosas vs. Aoriqileng provides to a rising card at UFC 306. The cardboard’s predominant occasion has but to be introduced, as of this writing, though Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili is the reported favourite to fill the slot.

Irene Aldana, Michel Pereira, and Anthony Hernandez are among the many rising stars set to return at UFC 306 alongside Rosas and Aoriqileng.
