Raul
\nRosas Jr.<\/a> doesn\u2019t want to keep fighting after he achieves all
\nhis goals.<\/p>\n

Rosas Jr. is the youngest ever fighter to enter the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>. The 21-year-old recently
\nrevealed that, like most modern mixed martial arts stars, he
\neventually wants to be a two-division champion. If \u201cEl Nino
\nProblema\u201d can win a second title and defend it a couple of times by
\n25, he will consider retirement.<\/p>\n

Rosas Jr. clarified that he will continue past that age if he
\ndoesn\u2019t accomplish all his goals by then. However, if he becomes a
\ntwo-division champion, Rosas Jr. doesn\u2019t want to keep fighting
\nhungry opponents who want what he has already achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I accomplish all my accomplishments by 25, like if I\u2019m already
\nable to try to challenge for the second belt on the second division
\nand defend it a couple of times, if I still haven\u2019t done that, then
\nI\u2019m gonna keep going,\u201d Rosas Jr. told Dominick
\nCruz<\/a>. \u201cBut if I\u2019ve done what I wanted to do, I don\u2019t wanna keep
\njust fighting. I don\u2019t wanna get into it with another hungry guy
\nthat wants something that I\u2019ve already had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosas Jr. (11-2) earned his UFC contract on the Contender Series in
\n2022, a month before he turned 18. After a first-round submission
\nwin in his UFC debut later that year, Rosas Jr. suffered his lone
\nprofessional loss against Christian
\nRodriguez<\/a>. Rosas Jr. has since racked up four consecutive wins
\nover battle-tested veterans, showing significant improvement. The
\nbantamweight prospect is now scheduled to face his biggest step-up
\nin competition in Rob Font<\/a> (22-9)
\nat
\nUFC 326<\/a> on March 7 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
