The life of a fighter has its ups and its downs, but the good ones always find a way to get back on their feet.
UFC featherweight Charles Rosa, a 2005 graduate of Peabody High, can testify to that. Born into a large Italian family, Rosa was hardwired to fight.
His grandfather was a Navy boxing champion, his uncle was an amateur champion and his father also boxed. But Rosa's journey and his spot on the undercard for tomorrow's UFC Fight Night 81 at the Garden is unique in many ways.
