Rosas will face another proven veteran in Aoriqileng, whose last fight ended in a no-contest against Daniel Marcos in February. Before that, he won three of his previous four fights, including a first-round knockout against Cameron Else.
The Aoriqileng vs. Marcos fight ended in a no-contest after an unintentional groin strike. The matchup wasn’t rescheduled following the anticlimactic ending.
Aoriqileng has fought at bantamweight and flyweight during 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 won his UFC debut by submitting Jay Perrin at UFC 282. His next fight against Rodriguez snapped an eight-fight unbeaten streak to begin his professional career.
Rosas vs. Aoriqileng adds to a growing card at UFC 306. The card’s main event has yet to be announced, as of this writing, although Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili is the reported favorite to fill the slot.
Irene Aldana, Michel Pereira, and Anthony Hernandez are among the rising stars set to return at UFC 306 alongside Rosas and Aoriqileng.
