Raul Rosas Jr. embraces 25-minute test against Raoni Barcelos
\nat UFC Vegas 121<\/h2>\n

Rosas Jr. also wants 25 minutes to try and finish his wily veteran
\nopponent, who has been knocked out and submitted only one time each
\nin his entire career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different managing a five-round fight for sure,\u201d Rosas Jr.
\nsaid on Wednesday. \u201cAnd I\u2019m excited to go in there for the first
\ntime for five rounds. It makes me more excited if it does go to the
\nfourth and fifth round. Because I\u2019m starting to get used to this as
\nthe championship fights are coming [closer]… I want to have five
\nrounds to try to finish him \u2018cause he is hard to finish. Even when
\nhe gets dropped, he gets back up. So, I\u2019m excited to go in there
\nand try it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosas Jr. signed with the UFC in 2022, when he was just 17 years
\nold, becoming the youngest UFC fighter in history. After a
\nfirst-round submission win in his UFC debut, Rosas Jr. suffered his
\nlone career loss against Christian
\nRodriguez<\/a>. \u201cEl Nino Problema\u201d has since racked up a five-fight
\nwinning streak and is fresh off a decision win over Rob Font<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Barcelos is riding a five-fight winning streak against
\nhigh-level opponents. The Brazilian has built a reputation for
\nderailing hype trains with his upset wins over the likes of
\nPayton
\nTalbott<\/a> and Montel
\nJackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cI want to figure out what his grappling is
\nabout.\u201d<\/p>\n
