Fight Preview

Five months after suffering his first-ever defeat, Raul Rosas Jr. is coming back into the Octagon. Heโ€™s 7-1 overall with his UFC record being 2-1. The 18-year-old Mexican is dubbed the next big thing in MMA, although he still needs to prove himself.

Heโ€™s a great wrestler/grappler whoโ€™s won most of his fights by submission. His boxing abilities are somewhat questionable. Heโ€™s got a negative striking differential, but that doesnโ€™t seem to bother him.

This guyโ€™s got a strong chin as evident from the fact that heโ€™s never been knocked out or event knocked down. In fact, his only loss happened by a decision โ€“ Christian Rodriguez landed way more strikes than him in that fight, but Rosas did land three TDs and even attempted a submission.

Whatโ€™s got to worry him is that in Noche UFC, heโ€™s fighting a really powerful fighter. Mitchel doesnโ€™t land too many strikes but theyโ€™re very damaging. This explains why this guy has a knockout-to-win ratio of 57.14%.


Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Terence Mitchell Prediction

The Mexican youngster needs to take this fight seriously as heโ€™s fighting a great finisher. He needs to watch out not to get KO-ed, but other than that, he seems safe. Thatโ€™s why the most logical pick for this fight is Raul Rosas Jr. by decision.
