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

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

Early career

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

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

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

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]

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 12.[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]

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]
