Raul Rosas Jr. became the youngest fighter in history to sign a UFC contract when the 17-year-old inked a deal after competing in Dana White's Contender Series.
ESPN's Marc Raimondi reported White, the UFC's longtime president, offered Rosas a contract after his victory over 25-year-old Mando Gutierrez on Tuesday night.
"I've never seen anything like it," White said about Rosas' performance at his age. "Not only that, the amount of fighters blowing me up saying you're crazy not to [sign him]. ... He's absolutely, positively talented. He's special, he's different."
Rosas, who improved his pro record to 6-0 with Tuesday's victory, said the UFC offer didn't come as a surprise.
