RAUL ROSAS JR VS JAY PERRIN LOWDOWN
Raul Rosas Jr (6-0) waltzes onto the pay-per-view card as the youngest ever fighter in the UFC. He has only recently turned 18 years old and got the contract after earning a unanimous decision over Mando Gutierrez on the Contender Series. That was only back in September and it stretched his unbeaten record to 6.
Jay Perrin (10-6) meets him hoping to spoil the show. He has fought twice this year but is still searching for his first UFC win. He made his debut against Mario Bautista losing a unanimous decision and then got outpointed again by Qileng Aori in August.
RAUL ROSAS JR VS JAY PERRIN PREDICTION
The UFC know what they are doing when the feel they have found a gem. They have thrown Rosas onto a pay-per-view card for his debut and have given him a kind matchup where he is fully expected to win.
Perrin is well-rounded and he knows he has to keep the fight on the feet at all costs. He will have to be calm and wait to counter expecting Rosas to throw wild jumping attacks and turning them into takedowns.
The Mexican is so young, and the big stage can easily unnerve him and force a mistake. However, we feel he will rise to the occasion, and we expect him to get Perrin down and control him on the floor. There, he will rain down the ground-and-pound to set up a submission.
