The UFC is heading to Mexico, and one of its youngest rising stars, Raul Rosas Jr., is set to return to action. The 19-year-old prospect will take on Vandetta135 in what many fans expected to be an exciting addition to the card. But as always, the MMA community had its own take on the matchup, one that was equal parts hilarious and brutally honest.

While some fans are hyped to see Rosas Jr. back in the Octagon, others are already calling the fight a snoozefest. The online chatter took off immediately after the announcement, with some fans questioning whether this was a real test for Rosas Jr. or just another easy fight to build his record.


Raul Rosas Jr vs. Vandetta135: The UFC Mexico Addition

UFC Mexico is shaping up to be a must-watch event, and adding a young talent like Rosas Jr. to the card makes sense. The promotion has been pushing him as a future star, and giving him a fight in Mexico aligns with their goal of expanding the market.

But the choice of opponent has sparked debate. Vandetta135, while a solid competitor, isn’t exactly the name fans were hoping for. Some believe Rosas Jr. should be fighting tougher competition by now, while others see this as a strategic move by the UFC to keep his momentum going. Either way, the internet wasted no time turning this announcement into a comedy show.

As soon as the matchup was revealed, reactions flooded in. It wasn’t the kind of overwhelming excitement you’d expect for a big fight, no, this was more of a collective side-eye from fans who have seen this script before.

The skepticism came through loud and clear. Many believe Rosas Jr. is being given an easy path to stardom, and the idea of this fight going the distance in a slow-paced decision didn’t exactly spark enthusiasm. The mix of sarcasm, frustration, and pure comic gold in the comments made the announcement go viral almost instantly.

If there’s one thing MMA fans love, it’s roasting a matchup they don’t like. This time, they didn’t hold back.

One fan summed up the general sentiment in just five words: “Will be a boring decision.” No fluff, no explanation just a cold prediction that this fight might not deliver fireworks.

Another aimed for Vandetta135’s UFC career, saying,

“Should be an easy win for him, Morales is a loss away from getting cut 💀.”

The implication? Rosas Jr. is fighting someone who’s hanging by a thread in the promotion.

Then there was the classic “let’s get real” take: “Can we give this kid a real fight tf.” This pretty much echoes what a lot of people are thinking, Rosas Jr. is talented, but is he being tested?

And of course, the inevitable conspiracy theory:

“They gonna put em in the top 15 watch.”

Because in the UFC, when a young star gets a favorable matchup, rankings can sometimes move in mysterious ways.

Love it or hate it, the fight is happening, and the internet has spoken. Whether this turns out to be a showcase for Rosas Jr. or a surprisingly competitive scrap, one thing is for sure it has already provided plenty of entertainment before a single punch has been thrown.

The real question now is: will the fans’ predictions come true, or will Rosas Jr. silence the doubters? Either way, UFC Mexico just got a whole lot more interesting if only for the memes.
