A light heavyweight bout between former Team Punishment member Aaron Rosa (11-2) and “Ultimate Fighter 2″ alum Seth Petruzelli (9-4) has been added to the undercard of Elite XC’s “Saturday Night Fights” on CBS event at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., on October 4.

Rosa won the first 10 fights of his career, competing mostly under the Renegade Extreme Fighting banner. His strong resume earned him a contract with Pro Elite and a slot on the Sho XC Challenger Series 1 card against Jefferson Silva in July of 2007.

He made quick work of Silva, dispatching him with a first round technical knockout. Company officials were again impressed and opted to match Rosa against fellow undefeated fighter Jared Hamman three months later at Sho XC Challenger Series 3.

This time, however, Rosa lost to a better prepared Hamman, suffering the first loss of his career in a second round submission loss. To make matters worse, he lost a lackluster decision to Jaime Fletcher at Sho XC 5 six months later.

That was his last fight for Pro Elite. He has fought one time since then, beating Ron Fields by second round technical knockout at Adrenaline MMA 1.

Most of us remember his opponent, Seth Petruzelli, from his stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 2.” He made it all the way to the semifinals before losing a razor close split decision to eventual runner-up Brad Imes.

He’s only lost twice since November of 2001 and both losses were in the UFC Octagon against Matt Hamill and Wilson Gouveia, respectively.

This should be a decent scrap. Both guys are experienced and know what’s going on inside the cage. Of course, there is also definite potential for this to turn into a boring hug fest, but if these guys come to fight the fans in Sunrise could be in for a treat.
