De La Rosa, 24, who is the husband of UFC women’s flyweight contender Montana De La Rosa, will attempt to string together a third consecutive octagon win after losing his short-notice debut with the company in December 2017. “Bumblebee” is coming off a split-decision win over Joby Sanchez at UFC Fight Night 139 in November.
