He will celebrate his 19th birthday in October, but a month before that, Raul Rosas Jr. scored his second UFC win. He didn’t need a minute to beat the more experienced and older Terrence Mitchell.
Raul Rosas Jr. scored another fight in the UFC. He entered the best organization on the planet via Dana White’s Contender Series and became the youngest fighter in the history of the brand. And he made a huge impression.
It was obvious he had a lot of talent. He proved that in his first fight, running over his more experienced and older opponent Jay Perrin and finishing him in the first round.
He went into the second with great confidence, making jokes about his opponent, and the fans predicted that he would be taught a lesson in humility. And he did. Christian Rodriguez beat him on points.
Now the 18-year-old had a third fight in front of him, in which he wanted to make amends for his last hesitation. You could tell he was focused to the max and much more serious than he was before the last fight.
He was opposed by 33 year old Terrence Mitchell, but although he was in the cage, he made virtually no appearance in the match. Rosas wiped him out and in 54 seconds it was over.
The talented fighter showed that he is not only skilled on the ground, but also in the standup and sent Mitchell to the ground, where he then finished him off with some hard punches. Rosas scored his second career TKO win.
Overall, the young fighter is now 8-1 and if he keeps this up, he has a very bright future ahead of him. In the cage after the win, he revealed that he had no excuses after his last fight and that he had to get back on a winning streak right away.
He is grateful for his performance, noting at the press conference that he believes in his huge potential and fans are already curious to see who will face him in his next fight.
