Charles Rosa Ahead of Saturday’s UFC 188 event, Charles Rosa praised UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby for giving him “the perfect matchup” and opponent: fellow featherweight prospect Yair Rodriguez . Despite the fact one of the requirements for the fight was to travel to Rodriguez’s (4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) native Mexico to compete, Rosa (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) said there’s nothing about the fight that sparks concern. “I was really excited when they told me about this fight; I think this is the perfect matchup for me,” Rosa told MMAjunkie. “I couldn’t have handpicked somebody better for me at the right time, the right matchup and everything. I think it’s a perfect fight for me. He’s the right guy at the right time for me to get where I want to be – (for) the next point in my career.” UFC 188 takes place at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City.
