The best facts and figures to come out of UFC 282, including a rare title-fight draw, an 18-year-old winner and a historically quick knockout.

The UFC’s final pay-per-view of the year went down Saturday with UFC 282 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

After an incredible run of 10 consecutive finishes to start the card, the night ended in bizarre fashion with [autotag]Jan Blachowicz[/autotag] (29-9-1 MMA, 12-6-1 UFC) and [autotag]Magomed Ankalaev[/autotag] (18-1-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) failing to determine a new UFC light heavyweight champion. The pair fought to a split draw in the vacant title headliner, which is a rarity in UFC history.

Jay Perrin laughs at Raul Rosas Jr.’s plan to be UFC champ by 20: ‘And I want to be Santa Claus’

Jay Perrin, who fights Raul Rosas Jr. at UFC 282, has nothing against the 18-year-old but thinks people are only “enamored” with his age.

LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Jay Perrin[/autotag] believes that [autotag]Raul Rosas Jr.[/autotag] eventually will reach his potential, maybe in two to three years or even sooner. But for anyone expecting great things to happen in his UFC debut?

“He’s still an 18-year-old kid that is unpolished and hasn’t been tested even one time,” Perrin told reporters Wednesday at UFC 282 media day. “Not even once has he faced any kind of adversity. And on Saturday, you’re about to see what that looks like for him.”

Perrin, 29, welcomes 18-year-old Rosas to the UFC officially Saturday night in a preliminary-card bantamweight bout at T-Mobile Arena. Rosas, a Mexican fighter who’s 6-0 in his early career, got a taste of the big stage this past September when he dominated Mando Gutierrez for a unanimous decision win at Dana White’s Contender Series 55 that was good enough to earn his first UFC contract while he was still only 17.

Perrin (10-6) is off to an 0-2 start in his UFC tenure, and he’s keen on what people expect to happen Saturday night. Perrin said he “kind of figured” why the UFC chose him as Rosas’ debut opponent, but he believes he matches up “quite well” with him.

“I believe that he is a very talented young man. I don’t have anything against him personally,” Perrin said. “His skill is – I think people are enamored with how old he is and not the actual skill level. We’re at the UFC. This is the top of the world, correct? So now we have to start talking to him like we would anybody else that’s not 18, 17, whatever the hell age he is. If I fought and was as sloppy as (his) last fight was, you can say whatever you’d like. But there was definitely some unpolished stuff that happened in there.

“I’m not gonna pull guard seven times. I’m not gonna do that. I’m not gonna do all of these things that his opponent gave him in that fight. Again, I think you’re enamored with how old he is and all the hype around him and not the actual skill set. And that’s what I’m looking at. … As a complete fighter, I don’t see him on the same level as I am.”

[lawrence-related id=2583459]

Right after earning his first contract, Rosas declared he will “become the youngest UFC champion when I’m like 19, 20, 21.” That attitude right there? That’s something Perrin takes umbrage with.

“Word. Great for you, dude. Everyone wants to be that, and I want to be Santa Claus,” Perrin said. “Like, get out of my face. ‘I’m gonna get a world title shot in two fights.’ Bro, I don’t know who’s talking to you like that and telling you that’s the case, but you need to get new friends. … It’s a nice goal to have. It’s nice to say. But before he’s 20? Stop. What is that, a year from now?

“If he gets in the top 10 in a year, I’m writing a strongly worded email to somebody. They’re getting a letter of some kind.”

All the UFC and Bellator fight announcements that were first reported or confirmed by MMA Junkie in the past week.

But here at MMA Junkie, we’ve got your back.

18-year-old Raul Rosas Jr. set to make promotional debut vs. Jay Perrin at UFC 282

Raul Rosas Jr. signed with the UFC at age 17. Now 18, he’s set to make his first walk to the promotion’s cage at UFC 282 in Las Vegas.

Just a few weeks after his 18th birthday, [autotag]Raul Rosas Jr.[/autotag] has a date and opponent in front of him for his UFC debut.

Rosas Jr. (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will battle [autotag]Jay Perrin[/autotag] (10-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in a bantamweight bout at UFC 282, which takes place Dec. 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view after prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.

Iridium Sports Agency, which manages both athletes, announced the bout in a tweet Wednesday.

There was much ado surrounding Rosas Jr. when he appeared in the international spotlight for Dana White’s Contender Series in September. Then 17 years old, Rosas Jr. required special commission approval and a waiver signed by his parents in order to compete as a minor.

Rosas Jr. was approved to fight and he later defeated 25-year-old opponent Mando Gutierrez handily by unanimous decision. A contract offer from Dana White followed. With it, Rosas Jr. became the youngest fighter in UFC history.

Prior to his DWCS appearance, Rosas Jr. competed on the Mexican regional scene. He enters his UFC debut with five finishes in six fights including four submissions and one TKO.

New England’s Perrin, 29, has gone six rounds in his two UFC fights but has yet to pick up a win. Despite coming up short both times by unanimous decision, Perrin has had two spirited outings including a brawl against Aori Qileng at UFC 278 in August.
