Off the back of a contract-earning performance on Dana White‘s Contender Series, Mexican bantamweight prospect, Raul Rosas Jr. — the youngest competitor in Octagon history, is off the mark in the UFC, stopping Jay Perrin with a first round rear-naked choke at UFC 282.

Fighting Perrin in tonight’s featured preliminary card matchup at UFC 282, Rosas Jr. — who is only 18 years of age, quickly worked his way toward a submission in the opening two minutes of his clash with Perrin.

Working to the back during a takedown attempt at the Octagon fence, the Mexico talent managed to secure hooks and then a body triangle whilst on the back of Perrin, forcing a rear-naked choke win at the duo eventually hit the Octagon canvas. With the victory, Rosas Jr. moves to 7-0 as a budding professional.
