Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Jay Perrin Prediction

Raul Rosas Jr. has a lot of momentum coming into the biggest fight of his young career thus far. His dominant submission game, coupled with his still being a teenager, has already got a lot of fans, pundits, and fellow fighters talking. A win here would prove he can live up to the hype and would set him on a promising path in the men's bantamweight division.

Jay Perrin, meanwhile, is 0-2 in the octagon, with both losses coming via unanimous decision. While his fights did prove he has respectable cardio at his disposal, his performances were mostly average with astute striking and defense but not enough offense or control to take the win. If this fight goes to the ground, he'll likely be looking at a scary 0-3 UFC record to his name.
