Slated for UFC Denver
Erosa will take on Christian Rodriguez in a featherweight matchup at UFC Denver on July 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Erosa got back in the win column with a first-round submission over Ricardo Ramos in March, effectively snapping a two-fight skid. He now draws Rodriguez, a fighter knocking on the door of the featherweight rankings after putting together a four-fight winning streak. Erosa will have a six-inch height and three-inch reach advantage, however, in addition to statistical edges in striking volume and takedown average. Defense is far less of a concern, however, so expect him to be there for Rodriguez to hit.

Takes advantage of mistake in win
Erosa defeated Ricardo Ramos via submission (guillotine choke) at 2:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Erosa entered having suffered back-to-back first-round knockout defeats. He appeared to be well on his way to a third in the early portion of this bout, at which point Ramos gift-wrapped Julian a victory that likely saved his job. Ricardo pushed forward on a needless double-leg takedown attempt and left his neck exposed in the process. "Juicy J" entered with a dozen submission victories in his career and took full advantage of his opponent's mistake. Erosa will be 35 years of age this coming July and has never been known for his physical gifts, so there's a real chance his time with the company could be coming to an end sooner rather than later despite this win.

Early stoppage leads to loss
Erosa lost to Fernando Padilla via TKO (punches) at 1:41 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Erosa was crushed by Padilla, let's not kid ourselves, but the stoppage here by referee Chris Tognoni was terrible. Julian must have ate upwards of a dozen massive shots from the debuting Padilla, and each time it seemed as if he was going to go out, he snapped right back and continued to fight. The job of the referee is to protect the competitors, but Erosa appeared to still be completely functional at the time Tognoni pulled the plug. Set to turn 34 years of age in late-July and with nearly 40 professional fights under his belt, Erosa needs every win he can find. He's now lost two straight on the heels of a three-fight winning streak.

To take on debuting Padilla
Erosa will take on Fernando Padilla in a lightweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for April 29 in Las Vegas, CC Legaspi of ESPN Deportes reports.
ANALYSIS
Erosa had a three-fight winning streak snapped by Alex Caceres in December and has been sidelined ever since. He'll now take on Padilla, a debuting 26-year-old prospect who most recently competed in Fury FC and LFA. Padilla has won four of his last five pro bouts going into his debut, with 12 of his 14 pro victories coming by way of stoppage. Ring rust could be a factor for Padilla, who hasn't competed at the professional level since May of 2021.
