Like most fighters who make it to the UFC, Marcelo Rojo is proud to be in the world’s most recognizable MMA organization, but his origins make his addition to the roster a bit sweeter. After a decade competing professionally, Rojo (16-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his UFC debut Saturday against Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 187 in Las Vegas. It’s a short-notice bout that Rojo took after Jourdain’s original opponent, Steve Garcia, was forced to withdraw due to injury. Rojo has been waiting for an opportunity to fight in the UFC for many years.
