Julian Ricardo Dulican Erosa[6] (born July 31, 1989) is an American mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Erosa is also a former CageSport Featherweight and Lightweight Champion.[7]

Background

[edit]

The son of Ricardo and Debbie Erosa, Julian was born in Seattle, Washington but moved to Yakima growing up.[1][8] Julian has a younger brother, Ricky. Growing up Julian was an avid skateboarder and snowboarder.[5] During his skateboarding years, he frequently got into fights and eventually drifted into mixed martial arts in his late teens.[5] He graduated from Eisenhower High School and followed his mother's footsteps by studying accounting for a couple of years in Central Washington University before dropping out.[9][10]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

After going 10–0 as an amateur, Erosa began his professional mixed martial arts career in 2010.[11] He fought primarily in the Pacific Northwest region, mostly in the CageSport promotion. After racking up 7–0 record, he faced Ryan Mulvihill in a rematch for the vacant CageSport Featherweight Championship at CageSport 19 on April 28, 2012.[7] He won the title but was not able to defend it in a match against Drew Brokenshire at CageSport 22 on December 1, 2012.[12]

After losing the title, Erosa went 3–1 before receiving a title shot for the vacant CageSport (in a prevailing collaboration with Super Fight League) Lightweight Championship. He faced Harrison Bevens at SFL America 2 on December 13, 2014 and claimed the title via knockout. Subsequently, he was pitted against Drew Brokenshire in a rematch for the vacant CageSport Featherweight Championship at SFL America 3 on February 21, 2015. He avenged the previous loss and became simultaneous two-division champion via third-round submission.[13]

The Ultimate Fighter

[edit]

Erosa was then picked to be a part of The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber, in which he advanced from the preliminary fights by defeating Jason Soares via unanimous decision.[14]

In the elimination round, Erosa faced Mehdi Baghdad. Erosa won the fight via majority decision, advancing into quarter-finals where he took on Abner Lloveras. Erosa advanced to the semi-finals via a split decision victory.[15]

In the semi-finals Erosa met the season's would-be runner-up Artem Lobov. He was eliminated from the tournament via first-round knockout loss.[16]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

Despite being eliminated from the tournament, Erosa signed a contract with the UFC and made his promotional debut against fellow The Ultimate Fighter alumni Marcin Wrzosek at The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber Finale on December 11, 2015. Erosa won the fight via split decision.[17]

He would then face Teruto Ishihara at UFC 196 on March 5, 2016. Erosa lost the fight via second-round knockout and was subsequently released from the promotion.[18]

Return to Cagesport and Other Organizations

[edit]

After his release from the UFC, went on to fight at a variety of organizations, including Prime Fighting, where he would win the Featherweight title with a TKO win over Austin Springer, as well as losing to Paddy Pimblett in the Cage Warriors Featherweight title fight, in a highly controversial unanimous decision.[19][20] He would then return to Cage Sports, where he would win back the Lightweight title and defend it again against Justin Harrington,[21] before losing it in a TKO loss to Bobby McIntyre.[22] He would have a one fight stint GKO, winning his only fight by TKO, before returning to Cagesports and winning back the Lightweight title against Bryan Nuro, in a unanimous decision.[23] He would fight on Dana White's Contender Series 11, and although he won the fight against Jamall Emmers by knockout, he was not offered a UFC contract.[24]

Return to UFC

[edit]

Although he did not earn a direct contract after his DWCS fight, Erosa was signed to fight against fellow DWCS alumni Devonte Smith at UFC Fight Night: The Korean Zombie vs. Rodríguez.[25] He lost the fight via knockout in round one.[26]

Erosa faced Grant Dawson on March 9, 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. dos Santos.[27] He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was briefly released from the promotion.[28]

Erosa was offered a quick return to face Julio Arce on May 18, 2019 at UFC Fight Night 151, despite being released from the promotion after the previous loss.[1][29] He lost the fight via knockout in the third round and was released once again.[30][31]

After the release, Erosa picked up one win in his native CageSport and was brought back as a late replacement for Kyle Nelson, who had visa issues, against Sean Woodson at UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker.[32] He won the fight via D'arce choke in the third round.[31] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[33]

Erosa faced Nate Landwehr on February 20, 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Lewis.[34] He won the fight via technical knockout in round one.[35]

Erosa faced Seung Woo Choi on June 19, 2021 at UFC on ESPN 25.[36] He lost the fight via knockout in the first round.[37]

Erosa replaced Lerone Murphy on short notice against Charles Jourdain on September 4, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 191.[38][39] He won the fight via a submission in round three.[40]

Erosa faced Steven Peterson on February 5, 2022 at UFC Fight Night 200.[41] At the weigh-ins, Peterson weighed in at 149 pounds, three pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and Peterson was fined 30% of his purse, which will go to his opponent.[42] Erosa won the fight via split decision.[43] 13 out of 18 media scores gave it to Erosa.[44] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award and also Peterson's bonus due to his weight miss.[45]

Erosa faced Hakeem Dawodu on September 10, 2022 at UFC 279.[46] At the weigh-ins, Dawodu weighed in at 149.5 pounds, 3.5 pounds over the non-title featherweight limit. Dawodu was fined 30% of his purse, which will go to his opponent Erosa.[47] Erosa won the fight via unanimous decision.[48]

Erosa faced Alex Caceres on December 17, 2022, at UFC Fight Night 216.[49] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round one.[50]

Erosa faced Fernando Padilla on April 29, 2023, at UFC on ESPN: Song vs. Simón.[51] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round one.[52]
