Reschedules Sopaj bout
Turcios has rescheduled his bantamweight bout with Bernardo Sopaj for UFC 311 on January 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Turcios withdrew from this fight, initially scheduled for UFC Vegas 100, back in November. He cited medical problems, but now the bantamweight appears to be ready to roll as the bout has been rescheduled. He'll look for a bounce-back victory after falling to Raul Rosas Jr. via Rear Naked Choke back in June.

Withdraws from Sopaj fight
Turcios will not fight Bernardo Sopaj at UFC Vegas 100, according to Nolan King of MMA Junkie.
ANALYSIS
Medical problems on Turcios' part will prevent his scheduled fight with Sopaj from happening. 2024 continues to be a difficult year for Turcios, who already spent most of it getting a fight worked out Raul Rosas and losing their eventual bout on June 8.

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.
