Raul Rosas Jr can continue his impressive run this Saturday when he fights in front of his home crowd.

This coming Saturday at UFC Mexico City, Raul Rosas Jr can continue his impressive run in the Octagon when he takes on Vince Morales.

‘El Nino Problema’ last fought at UFC 306, where he beat veteran fighter Aoriqileng, moving his win streak to three in a row.

When Rosas Jr earned his contract with a win on Dana White’s Contender Series, he was immediately highlighted as a potential future champion, considering the fact that he was only 17 years old.

Having broken onto the scene at such a young age, there was always a chance that Rosas Jr could end up breaking Jon Jones‘ record in becoming the youngest UFC champion ever.

And although the Mexican superstar still has three years to potentially complete that feat, with a win at UFC Mexico City this Saturday, Rosas Jr could break a different longstanding record.

With a win over Morales, the 20-year-old would become the youngest fighter to win five UFC fights. The record is currently held by Vitor Belfort, who won five fights in the promotion at 21 years and 203 days old.

‘The Phenom’s’ record-setting win came against Wanderlei Silva when the two met at UFC 17.5 in 1998.

The bigger a star the 20-year-old becomes, the more chance he has to break ‘Bones’ championship record.

‘El Nino Problema’ is hopeful that with a win at UFC Mexico City, he can earn himself a shot at a ranked opponent and take one step closer to Jones’ record.

“I have three years, but I’m trying to do it sooner. I still believe I can break it… Eventually, I feel like I’m gonna break it,” Rosas Jr told The Ariel Helwani Show.

“This year, hopefully, even if this year I at least get ranked top 15, that would put me in a good position to break the record,” he continued.
