Okay, so, today I’m gonna talk about this MMA fighter, Raul Rosas Jr. I got really into looking up his stats and fights, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride.
First off, I started digging into his overall record. This guy, he’s got 10 wins and only 1 loss. Pretty impressive, right? Then I broke it down further: out of those 10 wins, 2 are knockouts. So, like, 20% of his wins are knockouts, which is cool and all, but I wanted more details.
Diving Deeper into Wins
I found that he’s got 9 wins by submission. That’s a lot! It tells you something about his style, right? He’s not just about punching. He’s got skills on the ground. He’s a freestyle fighter, and he switches stances mid-fight. He’s like a chameleon, but way more dangerous.
What About That One Loss?
Alright, so nobody’s perfect. I looked into his one loss, which was against this dude, Christian Rodriguez. I gotta find the fight video, see what went down there. It’s all part of the story, you know? You learn more from losses sometimes.
Trying to Understand the Lingo
- SLpM – Significant Strikes Landed per Minute. I guess that’s how many good hits he gets in each minute.
- Str. Acc. – Significant Striking Accuracy. So, like, out of all the punches he throws, how many actually land where they’re supposed to?
- SApM – Significant Strikes Absorbed per Minute. This is the other side of the coin, how many hits he takes.
- Str. Def. – Significant Strike Defence. How good he is at dodging or blocking.
I’m still wrapping my head around these, but they’re important, I think.
Checking Out Different Sources
I went through a bunch of websites. One of them, I think it was called Tapology, had a full profile on him. It said he’s from Santa Rosa, California, and he’s ranked #40 in the Bantamweight category. There were also mentions about some drama with another fighter, Muhammad Mokaev, and a canceled grappling match. I need to dig more into that later.
Early Career and Buzz
I read that before he got big, he had 6 wins and no losses. People were already talking about him back then. I found an article, I think on *, that talked about his early fights, but it was only up to September 2022. I bet there’s more to his story before that.
Putting It All Together
So, that’s what I’ve got so far on Raul Rosas Jr. It’s been a fun little project, digging through all this. There’s a bunch of stuff I still wanna check out, like that fight with Christian Rodriguez and the drama with Mokaev. Also, I wanna understand those stats, like the SLpM and all that, better. And, of course, watching more of his fights is on the list. I mean, that’s the best part, right?
