Raul Rosas Jr made history by becoming the UFC’s youngest fighter in late 2022, yet now at just 19-years-old he’s already talking about retiring by the time he’s 25.

“I said before: Suffer now and enjoy later,” Rosas Jr. told ESPN. “So right now, I’m just going to go all gas, no brakes, try to accomplish my dreams, finish my career pretty early and enjoy later.

“I just want to accomplish my dreams which is to become the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, and then probably retire. 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.”

Rosas Jr is currently 3-1 in the UFC, including back-to-back wins in the past 12 months over Terrence Mitchell and Ricky Turcios.

Just less than a month before his 20th birthday on October 8th, Rosas Jr will now take on Qileng Aori at UFC 306 on Saturday night, and he sees it as a good opportunity to push himself closer to breaking into the bantamweight rankings.

“I feel like I’m right on track,” Rosas Jr. said. “Right now, this is my opportunity. This fight this Saturday is going to put me in a very good spot with four wins in the UFC, four finishes. So right now I’m focused on that and whatever comes next, I’m going to be ready.”
