Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Raoni Barcelos Preview
Raul Rosas Jr. earned his UFC contract at just 17-years-old after defeating Mando Gutierrez via unanimous decision on Dana White's Contender Series in 2022. He became the youngest athlete ever signed by the UFC.
On Saturday night, Rosas Jr. will headline a UFC event for the first time, making him the youngest athlete to ever headline a UFC main event. A dominant win could bring him one step closer to his ultimate goal - becoming the youngest champion in UFC history.
Rosas Jr. enters the bantamweight bout on a five-fight winning streak, boasting a 12-1 record inside the Octagon. He will face Raoni Barcelos in what promises to be a stern test, with both athletes renowned for their elite grappling skills.
Barcelos brings a 5-fight winning streak and has gone the distance in 10 of his last 12 appearances, it will challenge not only Rosas Jr.'s endurance, but mental fortitude. As a well-rounded athlete in the bantamweight division, Barcelos brings years of experience, an elite fight-IQ, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jistu flair to the Octagon.
At 39-years-old, Barcelos has everything it takes to put the young star to the ultimate test on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
