Contrary to popular belief, many UFC athletes have a fun-loving side to them, despite the dangerous enigma they carry around them inside the Octagon. Raul Rosas Jr. is one such fighter. Rosas, who turned 18 in October last year has already made two appearances on UFC pay-per-views. However, his last Octagon outing didn’t result in the way he’d have expected it to.
‘El Nino Problema’ had his undefeated record snapped at UFC 287 via decision, garnering quite the heat from fans and critics alike. Emerging out of Dana White’s Contender Series, Raul made his highly anticipated promotional debut in December last year.
Rosas Jr. had even grabbed several fighters’ attention, Jorge Masvidal being one of them. Fans and the UFC president himself had seemingly put a lot of expectations on the youngest athlete signed to the UFC. And with those expectations, came a lot of pressure, which seemed to have affected Raul’s performance in the last fight.

Recently, a clip featuring the 18-year-old athlete has started making the rounds. In what appears to be ‘El Nino Problema,’ he seemingly does what commoners usually refer to as ‘Ding Dong Ditching.’ It’s a childhood prank that revolves around ringing someone’s doorbell and running away before the unsuspecting victim has the time to come out of the house. However, doorbell cameras have taken all the fun away, just like they did for the 18-year-old fighter here.
As per the footage, Raul seems to be wearing a hat while adorning a white shirt with black pants. He appears to be accompanied by a female individual, however, it remains unclear whether she happens to be his girlfriend or just a friend. As per the location, it could be presumed to be a neighborhood of Santa Rosa, California, a place Rosas Jr. calls home at present.
