The UFC has apparently signed the older brother of one of its youngest stars to help bolster next weekend’s UFC Fight Night card. Following last weekend’s return to the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the UFC is set to make history this Saturday with the promotion’s first-ever event held in Serbia at Belgrade Arena. UFC Serbia is headlined by a welterweight clash between Uros Medic and Daniel Rodriguez, and after that event concludes the UFC is set to return home to Las Vegas for next Saturday’s card at the Meta APEX facility.

"Tachidito" Secured UWC Bantamweight Title in JuneThe older brother of current UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr., Jessie Rosas has put together an 8-1 record in professional MMA after going 2-0 as an amateur fighter in 2021. Rosas’ pro career got off to an unfortunate start when Eliu Trujillo landed an illegal knee that awarded him a second-round victory via disqualification, but after that the 23-year-old stopped four-straight opponents in the first round. After suffering his first (and so far, only) loss to Keenan Lewis in 2024, Rosas rebounded with a pair of victories before he submitted Erick Ruano in June to win the Ultimate Warrior Challenge bantamweight title. Jessie Rosas Joins Brother Raul Rosas Jr. in UFC Bantamweight Division Jessie’s relation to Raul Rosas Jr. should immediately give him a slightly higher profile for UFC fans that don’t keep up with regional MMA, as Raul famously made UFC history in 2022 when he earned a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series at just 17 years old. Raul won his promotional debut at 18 years old before suffering his first loss at UFC 287 but has rebounded with five-straight wins, and it will be no surprise if fans get to see “El Niño Problema” in his brother’s corner next weekend.
