\nup in weight before retiring<\/h2>\n

Rosas Jr., who\u2019s on a five-fight win streak, returns to action in
\nhis first main event on Sept. 26 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas,
\nheadlining
\nUFC Vegas 121<\/a> opposite Brazilian veteran Raoni
\nBarcelos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nmove up a weight class or two before riding off into the

\u201cIf by 25 I\u2019ve accomplished everything I want, I\u2019m just gonna step
\nback from the sport,\u201d Rosas Jr. told Full Send MMA. \u201cThe goal is to
\nget the belt and then defend it a couple of times, try to challenge
\nmyself and go up a weight class, maybe two. After I\u2019ve run out of
\ngoals, it could be 26, 27, 28; whenever I\u2019m done with my goals, I\u2019m
\ngonna step out of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
