Raul Rosas Jr. is grateful to come out victorious in his first UFC headliner – despite the unfortunate ending.
Rosas Jr. (13-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) finished Raoni Barcelos in Round 5 of their UFC Fight Night 289 matchup on Saturday at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, where the contest abruptly ended after a takedown sequence left Barcelos (22-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC) out cold on the canvas.

It was a scary scene which resulted in Barcelos being stretchered out to the hospital, but thankfully his coach provided a positive update afterwards. Rosas Jr. sent his well wishes to Barcelos, but also celebrated coming out on top after a Fight of the Night war.
“History continues…✍️🙏❤️ what a special night ! Being able to headline my first Main event at 21 years old, Dreams coming reality all trough hard work, and God’s plan. I felt great out there I knew I was in for a war, had a lot of fun. Prayers to my opponent we both pushed each other to our limits, we left it all out there. Thank you all for helping me get better everyday and believing in me💪🏾 #godsplan🙏🏽❤️.”
