With unyielding determination and a hunger for success, Raul Rosas Jr., the youngest contender on the UFC roster at a mere 19 years old, is forging ahead with a resolute plan for the upcoming year, eyeing a notable place among the UFC bantamweight elite at the next Noche UFC event.
Despite rebounding from a setback and possessing ample time to carve out his career, Rosas Jr. (8-1) has set his sights on a lofty goal: vying for a spot in the highly competitive UFC bantamweight rankings at the forthcoming Noche UFC in 2024.
Expressing his aspirations to MMA Junkie in Spanish, Rosas Jr. articulated his fervent desire to maintain an active fighting schedule, positioning himself for a shot at the top 15 rankings by September 16th of the following year.
"I aim to be highly active. Staying in the mix allows me to vie for a place in the rankings by September 16th," Rosas Jr. conveyed, exuding determination. "I aspire to participate in the upcoming Noche UFC, potentially set at the Sphere. When the moment arrives, I want to compete for a spot in the top 15 rankings, if God wills it."
The UFC recently celebrated Mexican Independence Day on September 16th with a show in Las Vegas, promising it as an annual event. Having triumphed at the inaugural Noche UFC by securing a first-round TKO victory over Terrence Mitchell, Rosas Jr. anticipates continued opportunities to showcase his skills in events honoring his heritage.
When questioned about potential opponents for the next year, Rosas Jr. acknowledged the volatility of the division and refrained from singling out a specific adversary.
"I don't have a particular opponent in mind. I am confident in my abilities to compete against the best, so I'm open to facing anyone," Rosas Jr. affirmed. "The division's depth makes it challenging to pinpoint opponents, with fighters constantly entering and exiting the rankings. I realize that if I face a ranked opponent on September 16th, the rankings will likely undergo significant changes, so I'll bide my time for now."
Raul Rosas Jr.'s unwavering determination and readiness to take on all challenges stand as a testament to his ambition, showcasing a promising trajectory as he continues to ascend within the fiercely competitive UFC bantamweight division.
