Taps out to Raul Rosas
Turcios lost to Raul Rosas via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:22 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
ANALYSIS
Turcios has one legitimate chance to win this fight, which is about all you can ask for when you are severely outmatched in terms of physical skill. Ricky was able to reverse position on the mat in Round 1 and clamp on a rear-naked choke. It was deep but never got fully under the chin, and Rosas was able to survive. Rosas landed a takedown early in Round 2 and went to work, eventually snatching a rear-naked choke of his own that ended the fight. Turcios is an active, high-volume striker with solid cardio and questionable grappling skills. The 31-year-old has alternated losses and wins in his first four UFC bouts.

Re-scheduled against Rosas
Turcios is scheduled to compete against Raul Rosas at the UFC Apex's June 8 event, per Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Ideally for Turcios, the third time is the charm for an eventual fight against Rosas. The two were scheduled to compete at what was promoted as UFC Mexico on Feb. 24. The fight got postponed and moved to UFC Vegas 87 on March 2, but it could not work and resulted in an overall cancellation. To make everything right, they have re-scheduled again but for the summer.

Won't fight Rosas Saturday
Turcios is no longer expected to fight Raul Rosas at UFC Vegas 87 on Saturday, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The two were supposed to fight a week earlier in Mexico City, but Rosas came down with an illness at the last possible minute, forcing the cancellation of the bout just before the two were scheduled to make the walk to the cage. The UFC announced an immediate re-booking for this week's card at catchweight, but it sounds like the promotion jumped the gun a bit, making the announcement before both fighters had pen to paper. It's also unclear what broke things up this time around. It seems likely this fight still happens down the road, but it won't be this weekend.
