LAS VEGAS – Since immediately after securing his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series while he was still 17, Raul Rosas Jr. made it clear that he’s gunning for Jon Jones’ record to become the youngest champion in the promotion’s history.
Now 18 and with an official UFC win on his record after submitting Jay Perrin in Round 1 on Saturday night at UFC 282, that talk only ramped up even more.
“I feel really happy but not satisfied. I’m ready to step back in there as soon as possible and get what I really want, which is a title,” Rosas told reporters, including MMA Junkie, backstage at T-Mobile Arena. “… The victory came out as planned, right? But what I’m saying is I still don’t have what I want. What I want is the belt right here with me. So I’m still not satisfied. I’m happy with my performance tonight, but I’m still not satisfied until that belt is wrapped around my waist.”
