On Saturday’s UFC 287, the young bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr is back for his second outing in the promotion, as he takes on Christian Rodriguez in the first fight of the main card.

The decision to place Rosas and Rodriguez on the main card, ahead of veterans like Kelvin Gastelum, Michael Chiesa and Michelle Waterson, was met with criticism from many UFC fighters and fans.

However, Rosas couldn’t care less about the haters,

“They should take some notes if they want to be on the pay-per-view card. They should take some notes and learn some stuff from me. I already got in the UFC and I’m already on the pay-per-view, not like other regular fighters that are prelim fighters. I don’t want to say names, but yeah,” Rosas said at Wednesday’s media day.

Raul Rosas Jr: “This spot on the PPV wasn’t given”

To get the chance to open up a UFC PPV main card in his second fight in the promotion was quicker than the young bantamweight expected, however, he still feels he proved that he deserves the spot.

“Like I said, this spot on the PPV wasn’t given, it was earned. I earned it with all my hard work and just everything I do,” Raul Rosas Jr said.

“I think I’m a PPV fighter, and I’m the perfect fighter to open up this PPV card because not only am I fighter, but I’m also like a showman, a performer. So I’m gonna go out and put on a show and get the people turned up for the rest of the card.”
