The upcoming Mexican talent, Raul Rosas Jr. has been a phenomenal contender inside the octagon since his promotional debut in December 2022. Even though Rosas Jr. had suffered crushing defeat to Christian Rodriguez in his second promotional outing, the Mexican fighter seems to be right on point regarding his career going forward.

Starting his professional career in 2021, Raul Rosas Jr. boasts a record of 10 wins and 1 loss in mixed martial arts. The majority of his wins came via submission(6), knockouts(2), and 2 via decision, respectively. Moreover, the 20-year-old fighter also holds 6 first-round finishes.

Raul Rosas Jr.’s UFC stint

Raul Rosas Jr. made his way into the Ultimate Fighting Championship by showcasing a dominant performance at Dana White’s Contender Series 6 against Mando Gutierrez. For his promotional debut, Rosas Jr. faced Jay Perrin at UFC 282: Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev on December 11, 2022. The Mexican fighter submitted Perrin at 2:44 in the first round.
