Julian “Juicy J” Erosa continued his incredible MMA journey by winning his 26th professional bout on Saturday night, finishing Charles Journdain via D’arce choke on Saturday at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs Till. Erosa has now finished 23 of his 26 professional victories.
Erosa has deep PNW roots as he was born in Seattle and was raised in Yakima, WA. A long time veteran of CageSport MMA, Erosa got his start with the Tacoma based promotion in 2010 at CageSport 12, winning his first professional bout by knockout. Erosa went on to capture the CageSport featherweight title on two occasions. Erosa is also a three-time CageSport lightweight champion.
Erosa is currently in his third stint with the UFC. His latest run with the world promotional MMA leader has resulted in a 3-1 record, with one flying knee TKO victory to go along with two D’arce choke submissions. Erosa overcame some adversity in his most recent bout as he suffered a knock down against Jourdain in the second round. Erosa, however, did not appear seriously hurt by the knockdown and came back to author the slick submission victory. Check out Erosa’s brilliant submission in the attached video.
