Rosas Jr., who saw his brief promotional-perfect run come to a halt last time out, dropped a one-sided decision loss to Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287 back in April.

However, turning to the tide back in his favor tonight, Rosas Jr. — a dynamic bantamweight prospect managed to blitz through the above-mentioned, Mitchell in the latter’s sophomore Octagon walk, landing a 54-second victory via way of knockout to land his second Octagon win since landing in the Dana White-led organization from the Contender Series.

And off the back of another stoppage win inside the Octagon, Rosas Jr. urged UFC leader, White to ink another Performance of the Night bonus with his name on it.

Teen phenom Raul Rosas Jr. issues warning to UFC fighters; ‘I don’t want them talking sh*t if they don’t got that belt’

Highly-touted Mexican prospect Raul Rosas Jr. doesn’t want to hear sh*t from any UFC fighter unless they’ve got a title wrapped around their waist. ‘El Nino Problema’ burst onto the mixed martial arts scene last year, competing on Dana White’s Contender Series despite being just 17 years old at the time.

Highly-touted Mexican prospect Raul Rosas Jr. doesn’t want to hear sh*t from any UFC fighter unless they’ve got a title wrapped around their waist.

‘El Nino Problema’ burst onto the mixed martial arts scene last year, competing on Dana White’s Contender Series despite being just 17 years old at the time. Rosas Jr. scored a unanimous decision over Mando Gutierrez, earning himself a contract with the promotion. Three months later, the hype train officially left the station when Rosas Jr. landed a first-round submission against Jay Perrin in his promotional debut at UFC 282.

However, at UFC UFC 287 earlier this year, his hype hit a slight snag after Rosas Jr. suffered a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Christian Rodriguez. Many assumed that being dealt his first defeat would help humble the outspoken teenage phenom. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be the case. In an interview with FULL SEND MMA, Rosas Jr. revealed that he is now out of high school, allowing him to focus on the sport full-time. He also had a few candid words for fighters who have not quite reached the top of their division despite dedicating their lives to MMA.

“Now it’s gonna be pretty amazing, being out of high school and being able to put my all into the sport,” Rosas Jr. said. “A lot of fighters were talking sh*t, but all I wanted to say to all the fighters talking sh*t, I don’t want them talking sh*t if they don’t got that belt.

“It’s pretty upsetting when they been dedicating all their life into this sport, these UFC fighters, all they do is fight for the UFC. So they got nothing to do but train, and still can’t be the best at it,” Rosas Jr. continued. “So don’t come talking sh*t to me if you’re a UFC fighter and you’re not a champion. That’s all you do, bro, and you can’t be the best at the only thing you do” (h/t MMA News).

That definitely sounds like something an 18-year-old kid would say.

Pushing his youthful ignorance aside, Raul Rosas Jr. is a legitimate prospect in the world of combat sports. Turning pro a month after his 17th birthday, he embarked on a journey that ultimately led him to an undeniably impressive 5-0 record before getting his opportunity to shine on DWCS. And despite the one setback, ‘El Nino Problema’ has lived up to his nickname, boasting an 85% finish rate with five submissions and one win via KO.

Christian Rodriguez upsets Raul Rosas Jr at UFC 287

The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to us tonight, April 8, 2023, for UFC 287, going down live from the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

Headlining the event is a middleweight championship bout showcasing newly crowned champion Alex Pereira and former champion Israel Adesanya, an immediate rematch from their UFC 281 clash back in November of last year.

Co-headlining is a welterweight bout between a pair of former title challengers in Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal.

Then opening up the main card tonight at UFC 287 was a bantamweight encounter between 18-year-old stud Raul Rosas Jr and Christian Rodriguez.

Rosas came into the bout with a perfect record of 7-0 (1 knockout, 5 submissions), having gone 1-0 thus far into his short UFC tenure. Rodriguez on the other hand came in with a record of 8-1 (3 knockout, 4 submission), having gone 1-1 thus far in the promotion.

Continue reading to see how this 135 lb affair went down:

Rosas came out guns blazing in round one, attempting takedown after takedown once the bout begins. On his fourth attempt, Rosas gets Rodriguez to the mat and he’s right into side control. However, he gets into position to go for a guillotine choke and goes for it, ending up on his back.

Rosas doesn’t accept bottom position though and they’re back to their feet, where Rosas eventually jumps onto Rodriguez’ back and searches for the rear naked choke finish during the final two minutes of the opening stretch.

Round two was a much, much different story, as Rodriguez began to break Rosas, who expended an absurd amount of energy through the first five minutes. Rodriguez is able to stuff Rosas’ takedown attempts and ends up on top, where he spends most of his time on Rosas’ back, as well as in mount.

Round three was quite similar to round two, though Rosas didn’t shoot on a takedown immediately when the round began. Instead, he tried to strike with Rodriguez, but was getting boxed up badly so he was forced to shoot, where he ended up on bottom again with Rodriguez reigning down vicious punches and elbows onto him.

“Just believe in yourself, no matter who doubts you,” Raul Rosas Jr. explained. “Right now, me saying I’m going to be champion, a lot people think I’m crazy that I’m going to become the youngest UFC champion, but I believe in myself and mark my words: I will be champion in one year or less. I’m just getting started, like this is nothing to me. I ain’t celebrating nothing until I have them three belts around my waist: 135, 145, 155, let’s go.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)
