UFC bantamweight star Raul Rosas Jr. wasn’t considered a legal adult when he got the call to compete on Dana White’s Contender Series for a contract.

Rosas, who returns this weekend at UFC Mexico City, was 17 years old when he got the call from the UFC matchmakers to fight for a contract against Mando Gutierrez on DWCS. Gutierrez was a top pupil of Conor McGregor on The Ultimate Fighter 31, as McGregor and Michael Chandler battled as the season’s coaches.
