Julian Erosa - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Facing Douglas in Seattle Erosa will take on Lerryan Douglas in a featherweight bout at UFC Seattle on March 28, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Erosa will be looking to bounce back after a loss at the hands of Melquizael Costa via unanimous decision. That dropped his UFC record to 9-8, and he'll still be searching for win No. 10 when he steps into the Octagon against Douglas, who will make his UFC debut in the bout.

Drops war to Melquizael Costa Erosa lost to Melquizael Costa via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Erosa had turned back the clock of late, earning three straight stoppage victories in a span of the past 14 months. He came up just short here against Costa, but showed plenty of toughness in the process. Erosa has legitimate power but is a sloppy striker. As a result, he found himself on the short end of a 102-69 count in terms of significant strikes landed. He did managed to land three takedowns in an attempt to close the gap, but it ended up not being enough. Time is most certainly not on the side of "Juicy J" given he'll be 36 years of age in late July, but there's clearly still some gas left in the tank here despite this setback.

Next fight booked Erosa will face off against Melquizael Costa at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Impact Erosa, who is coming off a TKO of Darren Elkins in April, will get back in the ring against Melquizael Costa in May. The 35-year-old American will look to keep his current winning streak of three alive at UFC Vegas 106.

Runs winning streak to three Erosa defeated Darren Elkins via TKO (strikes) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC 314 on Saturday in Miami.

Impact Erosa isn't going to find himself a -285 favorite over too many guys at this stage of his career, but he did against Elkins and proceeded to take full advantage. Aided by the fact his opponent couldn't take a punch this evening, Erosa simply remained aggressive and kept firing off power shots. The biggest blow of the fight was an early upkick which left Elkins in all sorts of trouble. He never seemed to fully recover and Erosa floored the gas pedal, eventually getting "The Damage" out of there with 45 seconds remaining in Round 1. Set to turn 36 years of age in late July, Erosa has won three in a row on the heels of a brief two-fight losing streak.
