Raul Rosas Jr.'s brother Jessie signs with UFC, set for August debut
The 23-year-old fighter will make his Octagon debut against Miles Johns at UFC Vegas 120.
The Rosas family now has another UFC fighter. Jessie Rosas, the older brother of Raul Rosas Jr., has signed with the promotion and is set to make his Octagon debut against Miles Johns on Aug. 8 at UFC Vegas 120. At 23 years old, Rosas enters the UFC with an 8-1 professional record. The matchup with Johns was first reported by Heavy.com.
Jessie Rosas Joins Brother in UFC
Two years older than his brother "El Nino Problema", Rosas arrives in the UFC with some experience under his belt. A professional fighter since 2022, "Tachidito", as he is also known, is currently riding a three-fight winning streak and last stepped into the cage in June. The bantamweight fighter has two knockout victories and four submission wins on his professional record.
Jessie Rosas Set for UFC Debut in August
While Rosas will be making his debut at UFC Vegas 120, his opponent has plenty of experience in the Octagon and will make his 13th UFC appearance against him. However, Johns is going through a rough stretch as he is currently riding a three-fight losing streak and desperately needs a win to avoid complicating his future within the organization.
With both brothers now competing in the UFC's bantamweight division, an eventual matchup between Jessie and Raul cannot be completely ruled out. For now, however, Jessie will first have to get past the much more experienced Johns in his promotional debut.
