Raul Rosas Jr. recently announced his retirement plans and said he hopes to retire by the age of 25.
Raul Rosas Jr., the UFC’s youngest signee at 18, has a promising career ahead of him. However, it may be shorter than anticipated. As the 19-year-old prepares for his upcoming fight against Aoriqileng at UFC 306, Rosas Jr. has already begun to outline plans for an early exit from the sport. While still driven by his goal to become the youngest UFC champion, Rosas Jr. recently hinted at a potential retirement.
In a conversation with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Rosas Jr. opened up about his career plans. He revealed his desire to accomplish major milestones quickly and step away by the time he’s 25. He envisions winning the UFC bantamweight title, defending it a few times, and then hanging up his gloves to focus on life outside the cage.
Rosas Jr. shared in the interview, “I just wanna accomplish my dreams, which is to become the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, and probably retire. So, hopefully, by 25 years old, my career will be all said and done, and I will be able to enjoy time with my family and whatever I decide to do.”
Rosas Jr. has consistently expressed a determination to break Jon Jones’ record as the youngest UFC champion, a title ‘Bones’ earned at 23 years old. Talking about his fight against Aoriqileng, Rosas Jr. said, “I think it’s a step up in competition, so I’m excited to go out there and pass the test this time. So, I think it’s gonna put me in a good spot.”
