Charles Rosa will replace Gabriel Benitez and lock horns with T.J. Brown at UFC on ESPN 32 this Saturday.
The new bout was confirmed by multiple outlets following an initial report from Ariel Helwani. While the original matchup was to be contested at 145 pounds before Benitez withdrew due to health reasons, Rosa vs. Brown will take place at lightweight. Rosa has also reportedly received a new four-fight contract with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
Rosa compiled a 1-2 mark in the Octagon during his 2021 campaign, taking a split verdict over Justin Jaymes while dropping unanimous verdicts against Darrick Minner and Damon Jackson.
