Raul Rosas Jr. sees himself retiring at 25 after winning the UFC belt
In a recent interview with ESPN‘s Brett Okamoto, Rosas gave a surprising answer when asked about how he sees his fighting future playing out.
“I just want to accomplish my dreams. Which is becoming the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, and then probably retire,” Rosas said. “Hopefully by 25 years old, my career is all said and done, and I’m able to enjoy time with my family and whatever I decide to do.”
Rosas elaborated on where he believes he is on that goal path.
“I feel like I’m right on track. Right now, this is my opportunity this Saturday, it’s going to put me in a very good spot with four wins in the UFC,” Rosas said. “Four finishes. So I’m focused on that right now and whatever comes next, I’m going to be ready.”
Rosas has bounced back nicely since his first career loss at UFC 287 last year. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum is on the right track to making noise in the bantamweight Top 15.
