Prior to UFC 287
The teenage prospect is set to have his second UFC fight against Christian Rodriguez at UFC 287, but he’s already looking ahead in the future… way ahead. According to Rosas, he will not only become the youngest ever UFC champion, he vowed to win his first of three UFC belts within the year.

“I’m ready to go out there and show my skillset, like I’ve always done. I don’t care who I face. I’m ready to show that there’s levels. Tune in April 8, I will show my skillset and that I deserve to fight for the title,” Rosas said during an appearance at Fury FC 73.

“Right now, me saying that I’m going to be champion—a lot of people think that I’m crazy (when I say) that I’m going to become the youngest UFC champion, but I believe in myself. Mark my words, I will be champion in one year or less,” he stated.

“I’m just getting started. Like this is nothing to me. I ain’t celebrating nothing yet until I have them three belts around my waist,” Rosas proclaimed. “135, 145, 155. Let’s go! Wooo!”

His ground game is good considering his age and what he's probably giving up in physical strength and just general experience and wiliness to his opponents.

However, it's a joke that anybody was calling this kid a "phenom". He's a decent fighter, he isn't significantly better than other fighters even in his area of strength. He isn't like a 20 year old BJ Penn, who just came in and picked everything up so fast.

Tom Duquesnoy was better at the same age Rosas Jr is.

If you stuck a mic in my face when I was 18 I'd have said some unbelievably retarded stuff too.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

i have a lot of respect for him at 18 years old to get in there. Seriously it's pretty amazing

but that fight was so horrendous. Really amateurish stuff

 

[Sakurabaism]

He better get at least one belt or he'd become the new Erick Silva.

 

[PhilMcCavity]

Based on his looks I’m not surprised by the way he fights.

 

[matrixremaster]

He's the next Chase Hooper.

 

[Willek]

 

[svmr_db]

A tough task to follow in the footsteps of the UFC's first 3 division champ, Darren Till!

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

BKFC, make it happen!

 

[Kb7]

He won't make it far, he's going to end up being another Sage or PVZ, all the backing from the UFC at stoking age without the skill.
He really should shut up, but his dad as his "striking" coach and get with a real gym.

 

[Stagliano]

He's the next Chase Hooper.

Is Chase Hooper still in the UFC?

He needs to fight against cardio first. Thought he'd win that last fight, but ran out of gas? Can't win with just a chin.....

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

This guy is delusional and annoying.

 

[Steve Fox]

He's the next Chase Hooper.

Or Edmen Shahbazyan..

 

[ryun253]

"I'm just levels above"

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

"I'm just levels above"

Maybe he meant levels above cm punk

 

[Morning Star]

Still waiting on Brandon Vera's 2 belts.

 

[clackers]

He needs time to improve maybe coming straight to the UFC so young wasn’t the best idea..
But have to respect the kid he just needs to keep it down less talk.
