Firm footholds are few and far between in the Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight division—a reality Ricky Turcios knows all too well.
The 31-year-old Texan will attempt to get back on track when he squares off with Bernardo Sopai in a UFC Vegas 100 showcase this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Turcios enters the Octagon having lost two of his past three bouts. He last suited up at UFC on ESPN 57, where he surrendered to a rear-naked choke from Raul Rosas Jr. on June 8.
