Returns are hard to come by for anyone who is just starting in the world of MMA. Often, people have to make their way up from amateur leagues before getting signed by a big promoter. Thankfully, Raul Rosas was a generational talent who immediately got signed by the UFC. Despite his young age, people have been wondering how much money is in his bank account. This article will aim to answer that very question.
Raul Rosas got signed by the UFC and Dana White back when he was just 18 years old. He went on to fight Jay Perrin in UFC 282. Since then, success has come naturally to him regardless if he was considered the youngest fighter to have ever stepped on the octagon.
This bantamweight superstar has gone on to win 10 bouts in the UFC. He has just lost one of his fights but there is no shame in learning from that experience as a young bruiser. Moreover, he also not ashamed of taking breaks and fully embracing his youth first. After his win over Aoriqileng, he disclosed that fans are likely not going to see him fight until April of 2025.
This does not mean that he is becoming lazy. Rosas just wants to choose his fights wisely in order to become one of the youngest champions in all of the UFC: "I want a top 15 but if my next fight is not against a top 15 fighter, I want somebody that the UFC would be like ‘if you beat this guy, we’ll give you a ranked opponent next.’ But either way, I want to be that close. I just want fights that will get me closer to the belt. I don’t want to fight somebody that I’ll just beat and I stay in the same spot. I want to beat somebody that will get me way closer to the belt.”
His grit and perseverance in the UFC has gotten him some attention from big brands too. When all of his earnings and endorsements are combined, Rosas has a net worth of about $600,000. He is certainly slated to make more whenever he gets older and notches a championship belt.
