Raul Rosas Jr. has made history by becoming the youngest ever fighter to sign with the UFC.
The bantamweight scored a decision win over Mando Gutierrez on Dana White’s Contender Series on Tuesday night, receiving a contract offer from the UFC president before the end of the show, which he duly accepted.

Dominating his 25-year-old foe for most of the fight with expert grappling, Rosas almost finished Gutierrez in the first round with a rare Suloev stretch submission move.
