Raul Rosas Jr brings me so many questions

[CroCopsLHK]

Beyond the obvious one like "what's his potential and will he fight for gold?" He seems to have a strictly pace/grappling approach. Besides KOing some Joe Schmo gimme. From what I can tell he doesn't really have any signature wins and it's almost impossible to project his future

On that note, why would he handily lose to Christian Rodriguez. He seemed to gas or adrenaline dump. Will this be a reoccurring thing or was this a minor hiccup?

Why does he look the way he does? He looks like he's gotten his ass kicked his whole life. Large nose that's probably been broken over and over again, large permanent cauliflower ear. Always has the smirking/sneering face. Calling him ugly is just mean. I think he looks pretty peculiar. Dillon Danis said Virna Jandiroba looks like him. He looks and doesn't look like a young adult

How much of a kid is he? I think by now he's about 19 and leaving HS when he was on Contender Series. There's not much to draw from his personality and I haven't seen too many of his interviews but he's still a baby in my eyes but maybe too mature from his lifestyle. Still CHEEWEEWEE is one of the most annoying catchphrases I've ever heard and I don't know where it came from

Why has he been a lifetime fighter? Who are his parents? I'm sure he's been MMA training since early adolescence which is quite brutal. I can't believe he wants to be done at 25

Tldr: Lazy mma fan who won't research, rewatch fights, etc lol

You don’t need to be handsome to fight. Also I do think he’s being hyped to much.

Of course not. As I said calling him ugly is mean I've just seen some fighters say that recently. I don't think he's ugly

He has the type of face where I immediately think he had to start training martial arts to defend himself

Raul looks like Bigfoot Silva stepped out on his wife.



Think he had an adrenaline dump against Rodriguez.

The cool thing about Rosas, is the spring and pep of his attacks , mostly due to his youth, now that coupled with his type of Mexican gusto creates a significant striking power differential. Hes able to do things borderline superhuman . Plus the potential R strength and violence factor makes him a marvel in the cage.

As far as his facial structure, its probably extremely damage resistant. We are lucky we get to see this in the UFC. It aint gonna last long though

Like Rosas could litterally KO Sugar , and Umar, and Movsar, and Ilia like 7/10 times within the first 60 seconds. Thats the level of danger he creates with his speed and power. His punchers chance is at a significantly higher baseline atleast in the first round

His unique looks is what sells him. If he looked like a run of the mill Brazillian fighter this thread probably wouldn't exist..

His jaw too

Definitely one of the most unique people I've ever seen.

You literally made this thread solely to point out his looks and you know it, stop acting like that's not your whole point.

lol no, the only thing that sold him was that he was going to be the youngest fighter ever in the UFC. When he fought at DWCS he was 17yo and that's where all the fuzz about this guy came from.

Of coarse it's not strictly his looks. It's a combination of things. But you can't deny his looks get him attention...

Winning helps too..

C'mon bro if he was 26 years old he would get a tiny amount of attention. Him being 17yo on DWCS is what 98% of it is about.

Mans 19 but he’s been fighting his whole life….

CHIIIIIIIIWUIIWUIIIIIS

hes a fun guy

 

[CroCopsLHK]

As weird as it sounds him being as young as he is I root for him and feel concerned. Not like a Jordan Mein but I remember when i was his age and he has his whole life ahead of him

I don't have an ounce of fight training in my blood but I just hope he's cool. Hes barely at the point of wisdom/maturity and it seems hes been raised to get beat up and beat up. Seems like a decent dude.
