Raul Rosas JR continued his impressive run on Saturday evening in the most important promotion of MMA.
UFC Mexico City suffered a setback when Joe Pyfer pulled himself out of his fight with Kelvin Gastelum a few hours before the event started.
The map seemed cursed when he started with an 'absolute robbery' and a rare blooper from Bruce Buffer, who announced the wrong winner unusually after Jamall Emmers had eliminated Gabriel Miranda.
Things, however, came when Loopy Godinez landed a Powerbomb that drove Daniel Cormier crazy before Raul Rosas JR went to the Octagon to make history by beating Vince Morales through unanimous decision.

Raul Rosas JR Breaks UFC Record
By postponing Morales, the 20-year-old person became the youngest person who wins five UFC fights and break a record of Vitor Belfort, who won five fights in the promotion at 21 years and 203 days old.
'The Phenom's' record setting victory came against Wanderlei Silva when the two met each other on UFC 17.5 in 1998-six before Rosas JR was born.
Hans to Rosas JR's Chiwiwis catchphrase echoed around the Arena CDMX before the favorite in the hometown went to work on elite level.
Rosas Jr took his 34-year-old opponent and hit him to the mat to earn huge cheers from the partisan crowd, who enjoyed seeing him dominating the majority of the round one.
It was more of the same in the second Stanza when Rosas JR insured an early branchedown and dominant in top position for almost all five -minute frame.
Morales was told by his corner to hit Rosas JR in the final round, but he almost found the finish in a different way when he locked up a tight choke.
It seemed that the young person could go to sleep before he stabbed his head and dominated the rest of the round with the grasping skills that turned out to be the difference all night.
