“Chiwiwi” made history this weekend.
20-year-old Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr. kept his momentum going, securing a unanimous decision victory over UFC veteran Vince Morales at UFC Mexico on Sat., March 29, 2025, inside Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico.
With this triumph at UFC Mexico, Rosas Jr. etched his name in the history books as the youngest UFC fighter to win five bouts inside the Octagon, shattering former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort’s 27-year-old record.
Belfort established the mark in 1998 at age 21, earning victories over Tra Telligman, Scott Ferrozzo, Tank Abbott, Joe Charles, and Wanderlei Silva.

Rosas Jr., at just 20, shattered the record by 1 year and 26 days—a feat that could stand for years to come.
“El Niño Problema” infamously secured a UFC contract when he was 17 and has since dominated opponents, with his sole defeat coming against Christian Rodriguez in his second promotional fight.
The rising star aims to break Jon Jones’ record as the youngest UFC champion and has just under three years to make it happen.
Will he do it?
Well, he thinks he will and then become a three-division champ as well … that is, if he doesn’t retire first.
