Raul Rosas Jr. is one of the unique and special fighters in the Dana White-led promotion. The Mexican, of course, will feature on the early prelims of the upcoming UFC Noche (306) card, which will commemorate the Independence Day of his homeland. And while his early prelims appearance may not scream superstar, ‘El Nino Problema’ is just 19 years old.

The bantamweight star, after all, is the youngest fighter ever signed to the UFC. When most kids are figuring out the intricacies of martial arts or testing themselves out in the amateur circuit, Rosas Jr. was fighting (and defeating) grown men in the Mexican MMA circuit. And ahead of the September 14 card at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas, let us take a look at the song that he is likely to walkout to on UFC 306.

What song does UFC star Raul Rosas Jr. walk out to?

Raul Rosas Jr. is not only Mexican but also quite proud of his Mexican heritage. Another thing the 135-pounder is, is remarkably consistent, at least in his choice of walk-out songs. After all, ‘El Nino Problema’ has been using the unique, upbeat, and instantly recognizable Mariachi tunes of Pedro Fernandez’s smash hit ‘El Loco Mariachi’ (lit. The Crazy Mariachi) since his UFC 282 debut.

Rosas has used this song for three of his four fights in the UFC, with the only deviation being last year’s UFC Noche card. There the young man paid homage to his homeland by using the song ‘Mexico Linda y Queirdo’ (which translates to Beloved and Cherished Mexico) by Vicente Fernandez.

For this year’s Noche card, however, it is unclear which song he will go through. The latter, of course, is a traditional patriotic song in Mexico that pays tribute to the beautiful country, its people, and culture, and thus is especially apt for a Mexican Independence Day card.

On the other hand, ‘El Loco Mariachi’s catchy tunes immediately hype up the audience because of the sheer peppiness and cheeriness of its music and would be a good choice for the Sphere, which has the best audio-visual capabilities of any venue anywhere in the world. Clearly, Rosas has a difficult choice to make for his next fight, which, if it goes his way, may see him take a step up in his career.

‘El Nino Problema’ hopes a win at UFC 306 will get him one step closer to realizing his dream

Raul Rosas Jr. was signed to the UFC at 17. Before he could legally drive or drink, the Mexican bantamweight found himself in the world’s toughest, most premiere combat sports promotion in the world. And for very good reasons. After all, the 19-year-old, in his five fights prior to his ‘Dana White’s Contender Series’ bout in 2022 had not only defeated grown men but also defeated all but one of them in the first round!

Already a superstar, Rosas, is now trying to speedrun the sport of MMA. In a recent interview, the bantamweight revealed that his aim is not only to become the UFC’s youngest champion (pipping Jon Jones, who won the light heavyweight title at 23) but also to retire by the time he is 25!

“I just wanna accomplish my dreams which is to become the youngest UFC champion, have the belt, defend the belt a few times, probably retire. Hopefully by 25 years old my career is all said and done and I’m able to enjoy time with my family and whatever I decide to do,” Rosas said in an interview with ESPN recently.

And given that he is already a star at 19, continuing his previous brilliance (except for one decision loss last year) in the Dana White-led promotion, it must be said that the Mexican teenager seems to be on the right track. But, that also means that his upcoming UFC 306 fight against fellow unranked 135-pounder Qileng Aori is so important. A win will certainly help him make a case for a ranked opponent next, while a loss may derail the momentum he has built up. What are your thoughts on Rosas Jr.’s rapid rise?
