Raul Rosas Jr. isn’t legally old enough to drink alcohol in the USA, but the 17-year-old will soon be fighting in the UFC after dominating his opponent on Dana White’s Contender Series and making history as the organisation’s youngest fighter ever.

The Mexican bantamweight, who says he’s been beating up grown men for as long as he can remember, earned an impressive decision victory against 25-year-old Mando Gutierrez on Tuesday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Following the fight it was announced that Rosas would indeed be getting a full-time UFC contract, with the organisation’s president Dana White singing ‘The Problem Child’s’ praises.
