"Bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr. will be getting a big step up in competition for his first fight of 2026. Rosas (11-1), still just 21-years old, will take on Rob Font (22-9) at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The booking (or in this case, re-booking) was first reported by MMA Fighting. Rosas Jr. confirmed on social media on Monday that he had a "contract signed" for his next bout."
"As for Raul Rosas Jr., he's won his last four bouts inside the octagon. Signed at age 17 off a win on Dana White's Contender Series, Rosas Jr. was the youngest fighter in UFC history, and is 5-1 under the promotion's banner overall. His lone setback came against Christian Rodriguez, who has become known as something of a "prospect killer" at this point."
Raul Rosas Jr., 21, moves up in competition to face veteran Rob Font (22-9) at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas.
