Raul Rosas Jr. Reveals Desire To Retire By Age 25

UFC youngster Raul Rosas Jr. has revealed his desire to retire from mixed martial arts by the time he turns 25.

Right now, Raul Rosas Jr. is one of the most talked about prospects in mixed martial arts. At the age of just 19, he’s already managed to burst onto the scene and make a huge impression in the promotion. Now, it’s a case of seeing just how far he can take it.

He wants to become the youngest champion in UFC history, which is a huge ask in itself. Beyond that, though, he wants to cement a legacy for himself as one of the very best – but he doesn’t want to take a whole lot of time up in doing so.

During a recent interview, the teenage sensation spoke candidly about his future plans for retirement and when it might happen.

Raul Rosas Jr. plans his future

“I just wanna accomplish my dreams which is to become the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, probably retire,” Rosas Jr. told ESPN MMA. “Hopefully by 25 years old my career is all said and done and I’m able to enjoy time with my family and whatever I decide to do. I feel like I’m right on track.”

“Right now, this is my opportunity,” Rosas Jr. continued. “This fight this Saturday is gonna put me in a very good spot with four wins in the UFC and four finishes. Right now I’m focused on that and whatever comes next, I’m gonna be ready. After this fight I’m able to get a big name, maybe a Top 15 or a good name, a good test.”
