""If I accomplish all my accomplishments by 25, like if I'm already able to try to challenge for the second belt on the second division and defend it a couple of times, if I still haven't done that, then I'm gonna keep going," Rosas Jr. told Dominick Cruz. "But if I've done what I wanted to do, I don't wanna keep just fighting. I don't wanna get into it with another hungry guy that wants something that I've already had.""
"Rosas Jr. (11-2) earned his UFC contract on the Contender Series in 2022, a month before he turned 18. After a first-round submission win in his UFC debut later that year, Rosas Jr. suffered his lone professional loss against Christian Rodriguez. Rosas Jr. has since racked up four consecutive wins over battle-tested veterans, showing significant improvement. The bantamweight prospect is now scheduled to face his biggest step-up in competition in Rob Font (22-9) at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas."
Raul Rosas Jr., the youngest fighter to enter the UFC, aims to become a two-division champion and may retire by 25 if he defends a second belt multiple times. He will continue fighting past 25 if those goals remain unmet. He does not want to continue facing hungry challengers after achieving his objectives. Rosas earned his UFC contract on the Contender Series in 2022 just before turning 18, won his UFC debut by first-round submission, suffered a loss to Christian Rodriguez, then compiled four consecutive wins. He faces Rob Font at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas.
