UFC 282 was one of the most exciting PPVs of the year for a lot of reasons. It was full of submissions and crazy finishes.
In one of the historic matches at UFC 282, 18 year old Raul Rosas Jr became the youngest fighter to win a fight in UFC.
Raul Rosas Jr competes in the UFC bantamweight division. The American mixed martial artist now has a record of 7-0.
He took on 29 year old Jay Perrin in his first UFC fight and completed dominated the fight until he secured a first round submission.
The craziest thing is Raul Rosas Jr is still in school. He even stated in his post fight interview that he wants the fight bonus to buy a van so that his mom could drive him to school.
"UFC jitters are very real. It happens to all of the guys. I don't care how good you are, how confident you are. It's a real thing and he overcame it tonight at a very young age."- White praised Rual Rosas Jr.
"There is a hysterical meme that people are sending me tonight of him in school next week."- White continued.
It's insane how good Raul Rosas Jr is at such a young age and the sky's the limit for the 18 year old after UFC 282.
