In the midst of a three bout losing spree, Jaynes has openly admitted that his career under the promotion’s banner is on the line against American Top Team staple, Rosa, and claims that he’s betting his entire fight purse on himself, as a betting underdog.

My career is on the line in this fight,” Jaynes explained during an interview with Overtime HeroicsCharles’ (Rosa) career is on the line in this fight; he’s coming off of a loss as well. I’ve been an underdog four times in a row, and if Charles thinks I’m just going to roll over, then he will be sadly mistaken because I’m bringing the heat.

As soon as the betting line comes out between Justin Jaynes and Charles rosa, I’m putting my entire fight contract on myself, and my coaches and doing that as well,” Jaynes explained. “I’m betting close to 25k that I’m winning my fight because that’s much I believe in myself. This is all in for me, and if I lose this fight, I do not get paid and my coaches do not get paid either. And that won’t be as bad as losing my job of being in the UFC.

Since his debut under the UFC’s banner back in 2014, from Rosa’s promotional run, he’s established an almost 50-50 record of 4-5 losses, failing to ever compile more than one straight victory.
