Teenage UFC prospect Raul Rosas Jr suffers first professional defeat

Teenage prospect Raul Rosas Jr failed to keep his unbeaten streak intact as he was beaten by Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287.

Rosas, 18, was signed to the UFC last September after impressing Dana White on the Contender Series in September. The high school student went on to become the youngest fighter to win in the UFC just months later when he choked out Jay Perrin and Rosas is now 2-0 in the UFC following his win against Rodriguez.

As the fight got underway Rosas shot for a takedown but Rodriguez did a good job of sprawling to keep the fight standing up. The pair clinched against the fence before Rosas got the takedown he was looking for, with the youngster quicjly taking a dominant position on the ground.
