Raul Rosas Jr.’s life is part of a shared experienced lived by many in the U.S., but within that large part of the population, this 17-year-old’s story is far from ordinary.
Rosas is one of millions of first-generation immigrants chasing the American dream, looking to make his parents proud but also carrying the sense of responsibility of one day repaying them for what they had to endure as immigrants to give him a better life.
And for Rosas, his dream of a better future comes through professional fighting. “El Niño Problema” dazzled the MMA world last month when he made history by becoming the youngest fighter to ever sign with the UFC following a dominant win over 25-year-old Nando Gutierrez at Dana White Contender Series 55.
