Media Raul Rosas Jr. plans to retire at age 25

[jeskola]

Raul Rosas plans to retire at Age 25. Other fighters with success at a young age have made similar statements then stuck around well past their prime. 25 seems drastically early.

“I just wanna accomplish my dreams which is to become the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, probably retire,” Rosas Jr. told ESPN MMA. “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. I feel like I’m right on track.”

Here we go, 3, 2 ,1.....Shoot!!!

 

[HNIC215]

He’s just a kid… he knows not what he says.

 

[Van Daz]

He always had big dreams. This is him when younger...

"I just wanna pass grade 1, defend grade 1 a couple of times & retire". "Then I'll grow into my chin".

Riiiiight....

Lol
Why all the hate ?

I mean, depending on how hard he trains and how long he's been doing it I could see why he's looking at an early retirement. We've seen guys who started pretty early, like Rory and Mein, look completely shot as soon as they turn 30, and I don't think either were fighting at such a high level so young.

Do I believe he'll retire at that age? No, not only because I don't think he'll break Jones' record, but because he could very easily change his mind 6 years down the line. Hell, he could even be cut by that point.

 

[SamuraiBro]

We all know that ain’t happening. Good Luck to him though!

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Well he has already reached the pinnacle of the sport and achieved 3 division champ status and made a fortune, might as well retire on top and enjoy the money. Good on him

 

[Mammothman]

As long as he gets out of the game without getting CTE is all good, he already looks like Big Foot Silva but I don't want him to have the brain of Big Foot Silva.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Good for him.
Hope he does it.

No reason to get CTE for the sake of entertaining others.

Become a champ, defend your belt, become a multi-millionaire, win sponsorships, and just retire at the top.


Plus, he probably wants to get double jaw surgery so he can experience love before 30.

Kids got a lot to learn lol

Makes sense.

Not a great thread.

Paul Hosas is a good kid
Future legend and GOAT

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Why?

Responses are more dumb then the fun!
But so am I.

He better start fighting more frequently than a prime Cerrone. That dream to be a champion before 23 didn't workout for Maycee Barber.
