UFC Signs Raul Rosas Jr.’s Older Brother Jessie Rosas
The UFC has officially added another member of the Rosas family to its roster, signing bantamweight prospect Jessie Rosas, the older brother of rising UFC star Raul Rosas Jr.
Jessie Rosas is set to make his Octagon debut on August 8 at UFC Fight Night 284, which will take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
The 23-year-old enters the promotion with an impressive 8-1 professional record. He earned recognition on the regional circuit after competing in promotions including UWC, A1 Combat, Fury FC and 559 Fights. Six of his eight victories have come by stoppage, with two knockouts and four submissions.
In his first UFC appearance, Jessie will face experienced bantamweight Miles Johns, who enters the contest on a three-fight losing streak.
Jessie follows in the footsteps of his younger brother, Raul Rosas Jr., who made UFC history by debuting at just 18 years old. Raul has since bounced back from his first professional defeat and is currently riding a five-fight winning streak, most recently defeating Rob Font by unanimous decision.
With Jessie now joining the world’s leading MMA promotion, the Rosas brothers will become one of the UFC’s newest sibling duos competing in the bantamweight division.
