Seeking fifth straight win Rosas will take on Rob Font in a bantamweight bout at Noche UFC in San Antonio on September 13, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Rosas topped Vince Morales via unanimous decision in late March to earn his fourth straight win in the UFC. He'll go for five in a row against a more experienced fighter in Font. Font is also on something of a winning streak, having won his last two bouts. Rosas, however, at age 20, is significantly younger than his 38-year-old opponent, and appears to really be hitting his stride in the UFC.

Secures fourth straight win Rosas defeated Vince Morales via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.

Impact It was a typical Rosas performance on multiple fronts. His striking continues to improve, but his success is entirely reliant on his grappling game. Rosas landed 4-of-8 takedowns for 9:38 worth of control time, but his positioning on the ground remains a work in progress and that allowed Morales to clamp on a pair of deep submission attempts. Rosas survived, but there were some hairy moments on the way to the victory. The winner of four fights in a row and five of his six in the UFC, Rosas won't turn 21 years of age until October. All that matters is that he remains healthy and continues to get reps inside the octagon.
