The youngest fighter on the UFC roster has a bright future ahead of him. 

Raul Rosas Jr., still just 19-years-old, will seek his fourth UFC win (in addition to the Contender Series victory in 2022 that earned him passage to the organisation) at the Riyadh Season Noche UFC event (or UFC 306) in the Las Vegas Sphere on September 14 as the New Mexico-born bantamweight seeks to add another statement win en route to title contention.

In his way stands the 37-fight Chinese veteran Aori Qileng; a 31-year-old fighter who is 3-3 (1) in the UFC since debuting in April 2021.

Rosas Jr, who is of Mexican descent, will be one of the featured fighters at the Sphere event, where UFC boss Dana White has pledged to pull out all the stops to deliver one of the most spectacular events in the promotion’s three-decade history.

And if Rosas Jr. can repeat the type of win he earned back in June over Ricky Turcios, it will kick the event off (which is celebrating Mexican Independence Day) in style. Check it out below.
