MEXICO CITY – Raul Rosas Jr.’s big-picture goal remains breaking Jon Jones’ record as the youngest champion in UFC history, but he knows he can’t reach that accomplishment without taking each step.
Rosas (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) admits his ambition may have gotten the best of him in the past. And though he’s still just 20, he enters Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 64 bantamweight matchup with Vince Morales (11-9 MMA, 3-7 UFC) at Arena CDMX in Mexico City (ESPN2, ESPN+) with a more mature mentality.
“I’m just concentrated on my path, on every fight,” Rosas told MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 64 media day. “I just want to get that belt, so whatever I need to get me there, I’m ready to do it.”
