Sherdog, the most prestigious statistics on general martial arts (MMA) noted Raul Rosas Jr born on October 8, 2004 in Mexico. He nicknamed El Nino Problema (a child causing trouble). This is also the nickname of the boxer and Youtuber Jake Paul, but Rosas shows that he is much more talented than Paul.
Playing at Bantamweight weight class, Rosas first launched a professional MMA arena in late November 2021. The luggage that helps him step on the professional ring is a achievement of 6 matches at amateur MMA events, where he started playing since he was only a 15 -year -old boy.
The victory of Andres Portocarrero Pineda at the Ultimate Warrior Challenge 35 event helped Rosas caught the eyes of Dana White. The UFC tycoon was impressed with Rosas's 5 professional MMA matches, thereby inviting him to attend Dana White's Contender Series, a program to recruit fighters to join UFC.
At the 9th week of Dana White's Contender Series, Rosas officially encountered Mando Gutierrez player. He won the point after 3 rounds, not too impressive as other boxers, but that was enough for Rosas to come very close to the opportunity to become the youngest boxer in UFC history.
The only thing that prevents Rosas from joining UFC is now a special license for him to play. Because Rosas was less than 18 years old, he needed to be allowed from the Nevada, US athletes committee. If the procedure is stable, Rosas will surpass the old record of Chase Hooper, who has signed a contract with UFC at the age of 19.
Rosas himself knew he was despised by many opponents because of his age. “They do not know the ability of others, just look at age and decry,” Rosas said. “When I mentioned me, they only saw the age of 17, seeing me as a normal kid, but I was different.”
While her peers still experienced childhood in the school chair, playing electronics and on vacation, Rosas always lived with the dream of becoming a professional boxer. He spent most of the day practicing in the gym, thereby cultivating himself.
After becoming the youngest boxer in UFC history, Raul Rosas Jr can target the next goal in her career: The youngest champion. The person holding this record is Jon Jones, when he first won UFC at the age of 23, and that record has existed for 11 years.
