Teenage prospect Raul Rosas Jr become the youngest fighter to win in the UFC as he won choked out Jay Perrin in the first round.
Rosas, 18, was signed to the UFC after an impressive win against Mando Gutierrez on the Contender Series in September. The high school student showed off his striking and submission skills to pick up a one-sided decision, with Dana White insisting he’d never seen a fighter like Rosas before following his win.
The Mexican started his fight against Perrin on the front foot and wowed the Las Vegas crowd by slamming his opponent to the mat in the opening exchange. Rosas was looking to secure a rear-naked choke as he took the back of Perrin but the American was defending well.
