UFC tournament with Prochazka will offer another interesting fight! A fresh 18-year-old talent will be in action

The UFC offered us the interim tournament of the year over the weekend, but it looks like they’ll try to top it later this year. The UFC 282 tournament, featuring Jiri Prochazka among others, will offer some interesting fights and another closely watched bout should be announced soon.

UFC 280 is over and more numbered tournaments are ahead. We will be particularly interested in December’s UFC 282, where the first defense of the champion Jiri Prochazka awaits, who will face Glover Teixeira for the second time.

However, the whole card looks very promising so far. Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev or Robbie Lawler and Santiago Ponzinibbio will face each other. Paddy Pimblett, Darren Till and Alexander Gustafsson will also be in action.

Thirteen fights are scheduled so far, with more to come. Renowned journalist Marcel Dorff has now come forward with information that we could also see the youngest fighter in UFC history start at the tournament.

This is currently Raul Rosas Jr. who just celebrated his 18th birthday in October. He came to the UFC when he was just 17 years old, defeating Mando Gutierrez on points in Dana White’s Contender Series.

Rosas has six fights under his belt, all of which he has won. He is set to make his debut in the star-studded organization. He is expected to face Jay Perrin in the cage, a fighter 11 years his senior who has lost his last two fights.

Overall, the 29-year-old Perrin has a record of 10 wins and 6 losses. So he could be the perfect opponent for Rosas to start. But it certainly won’t be easy.
