WATCH: Raul Rosas Jr. overwhelmed with joy upon winning $50k bonus for spectacular performance at UFC 282

UFC fans have been treated to a video of the heartwarming moment 18-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. learned he had earned Dana White's $50,000 performance bonus at UFC 282.

'El Nino Problemo' made a dream start to his UFC career as he moved to 7-0 as a professional with his first-round submission victory over Jay Perrin. The young prospect signed for the UFC back in September when he impressed on Dana White's Contender Series and broke the record as the UFC's youngest-ever fighter when he made the walk to the octagon last weekend.

In the video, Raul Rosas Jr. thanked the UFC president for the bonus and stated that he's planning on buying his mother a new minivan.

Watch the moment Rosas Jr. learned of his bonus here:

UFC 282 featured a stunning night for fans as there were 10 finishes from the 12 fights available. During the post-fight press conference, Dana White confirmed that every fighter who earned a finish would be getting a Performance of the Night bonus, meaning the UFC paid out over $500,000 on bonuses alone.

Fighters react to Raul Rosas Jr.'s victory

UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya was full of high praise for Raul Rosas Jr. and reacted to the young prospect's UFC 282 performance last weekend.

'The Last Stylebender' watched as the 18-year-old locked in a rear-naked choke on Jay Perrin, earning himself a first-round victory. According to 'Izzy', 'El Nino Problemo's' grappling is already showing signs of Khamzat Chimaev:

"He's like a mini Khamzat, the way he's fighting at the moment. He's reminding me of Khamzat. Wow. What a fight. Yeah, he's in the money, haha! Give him the money."

Another fighter to react to Rosas Jr.'s victory was UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier. Following the win over Perrin, the 18-year-old jokingly called for a title shot against bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.

According to 'DC', Rosas Jr.'s confidence is a mix of "youthful ignorance" and passion:

"Yesterday, I heard [Rosas Jr.] do an interview and say he could beat Aljamain Sterling today. I'm like, 'Hey, wait a minute,' but again, youthful ignorance. Youthful ignorance, because he believes he could be the champion right now, but I do believe that in time, there is a lot of potential for Raul Rosas Jr. to be something very special in the UFC."

Cormier added:

"Especially being Mexican. RC, I'm telling you dude, the passion of the Hispanic fans, crazy, and he's going to tap into that like all the great Mexican fighters that came before him."
