Jessie Rosas, brother of UFC star Raul Rosas Jr., will not be competing at UFC Vegas 120 this Saturday after all.<\/p>\n
Rosas (8-1), who was to face Miles Johns (15-5, 1NC) at the event, was pulled from the bout due to a cut after the UFC\u2019s physician ruled him ineligible to compete. Brother Raul revealed the reasoning for the bout\u2019s cancellation on social media late Thursday night, roughly 12 hours prior to weigh-ins.<\/p>\n
\u201cUFC doctor pulled my brother out of his fight,\u201d wrote Rosas, \u201cdue to a glove scratch in his forehead as he believes it\u2019s an infection. We did what we could, got approval from two doctors everything was okay, but the UFC doctor made the call. There\u2019s nothing we can do, my brother was ready. Things happen for a reason. God\u2019s plan. His time will come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luckily for Johns, he\u2019ll be staying on the card. He\u2019ll instead face Gianni Vazquez (14-5-1), who steps in on all of two day\u2019s notice, with the fight shifting to featherweight as a result.<\/p>\n
Vazquez is 0-1 in the UFC after losing a fight against Javid Basharat earlier this year. After missing weight for that bout, he was released by the promotion, and picked up a win for Combate Global this May. He was to have competed for LFA later this month.<\/p>\n
