Charles Rosa (born August 24, 1986) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Born and raised in Peabody, Massachusetts, Rosa's father, grandfather, and uncle were all professional boxers. Growing up, Rosa played football, hockey, lacrosse, and also trained in karate. Rosa continued playing lacrosse at Johnson & Wales University, where he also earned a degree in the culinary arts. After two of his brothers died from drug overdoses, Rosa later relocated to Florida, where he began to train in mixed martial arts at American Top Team.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Rosa compiled an amateur MMA record of 11-2 and made his professional debut in 2012 competing in regional promotions across the Northeastern United States. He compiled an undefeated record of 9-0, finishing all of his opponents before signing with the UFC in the summer of 2014.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Rosa made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement against Dennis Siver on October 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 53, replacing an injured Robert Whiteford.[7] Siver won the back and forth fight via unanimous decision.[8] Subsequently, both participants earned Fight of the Night honors.[9]

Rosa faced Sean Soriano on January 18, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 59.[10] Rosa won the bout via submission in the third round.[11]

Rosa then faced Yair Rodríguez on June 13, 2015 at UFC 188.[12] He lost the fight by split decision.[13] Despite the loss, Rosa also earned Rodríguez his second Fight of the Night bonus award.[14]

Rosa was originally expected to face Jimy Hettes on January 17, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 81.[15] However, Hettes pulled out of the fight in the week leading up to the event and was very briefly replaced by promotional newcomer Augusto Mendes.[16] Just two days later, Mendes was removed from the fight and was replaced by Kyle Bochniak.[17] Rosa won the fight via unanimous decision.[18]

Personal life

In addition to competing, Rosa works as a chef at an upscale steakhouse, Cut 432, in Delray Beach, Florida.[5]
