Lucas Rosa: 'We have a chance to do something that has very rarely, if ever, been done in MMA.'
It's not everyday that you see two brothers fighting it out on the same card, but that's what we're getting at CES 78 this Friday.After 25 professional MMA bouts, former UFC fighter Charles Rosa will finally compete alongside family as his younger brother and rising prospect Lucas joins him on the main card of CES 78.
Rosa tapped out 8-2-1 Joshua Harvey in his last appearance in May to win the CES Lightweight title, which he now defends against an oncoming Patrick Benson in the main event of CES 78 at Foxwoods Resorts Casino. "It's also really special to share the card with my brother Lucas, because I love watching his career and love being part of it and the fact that he can fight on the card is a dream come true and something that brings all my family together, that’s my favorite part about it along with helping spring his career to the top. My fans are his fans, from fighting around the planet with UFC, now are his fans and part of 'Rosa Nation', the legacy continues...
"I had been wanting to fight this opponent for a very long time, and I know he had been wanting to fight me, so when my opponent won his last fight with a first round TKO, I reached out to CES and knew that it would be perfect timing," Lucas said of fighting at CES 78 alongside his brother.
