Raul Rosas JR can continue his impressive run this Saturday when he fights for his home crowd.

Raul Rosas JR, next Saturday in UFC Mexico City, can continue his impressive run in the Octagon when he takes on Vince Morales.

'El Nino Problema' fought for the last time at UFC 306, where he defeated veteran hunter Aoriqileng and moved his wintreak to three in a row.

When Rosas JR achieved his contract with a victory over the Contender Series of Dana White, he was immediately emphasized as a potential future champion, given that he was only 17 years old.

Raul Rosas JR can break the long -standing UFC record of Vorror Belfort with winning in Mexico

After he was broken on stage at such a young age, there was always a chance that Rosas JR could break the record of Jon Jones to become the youngest UFC champion ever.

And although the Mexican superstar can be completed for another three years, with a victory in UFC Mexico City this Saturday, Rosas Jr was able to break another long -term record.

With a victory over Morales, the 20-year-old would be the youngest hunter who wins five UFC fights. The record is currently in the hands of Vitor Belfort, who won five fights in the promotion at 21 years and 203 days old.

With a victory over #ufcmexico, Raul Rosas Jr. The youngest hunter will be those five UFC fights after 20 years, 177 days!

The current record holder is Vitor Belfort, 21 years, 203 days.

'The Phenom's' record setting victory came against Wanderlei Silva when the two met each other on UFC 17.5 in 1998.

Raul Rosas JR still looks at the championship record of Jon Jones

The larger a star becomes the 20-year-old, the more chance he has to break 'Bones' championship record.

'El Nino Problema' is hopeful that with a victory in UFC Mexico City he can earn a chance on a ranked opponent and take a step closer to Jones' record.

“I have three years, but I try to do it earlier. I still believe I can break it … In the end I have the feeling that I am going to break it,” Rosas JR told the Ariel Helwani show.

“This year, hopefully, even if I become at least top 15 this year, that would bring me in a good position to break the record,” he continued.
