The worlds of professional fighting and social media pranks collided in Las Vegas this week. UFC’s youngest-ever signee, Raul Rosas Jr., was at the center of an ill-conceived stunt. The 20-year-old bantamweight prospect has been making waves in the UFC since joining at just 17. He found himself in an unexpected situation during what should have been a routine training session.
The trouble started when a member of the YouTube channel “TopNotch Idiots” approached Rosas near the treadmills. Despite warnings from a nearby coach about Rosas’s fighting credentials, the prankster pressed on with his antics. What followed was a textbook example of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” Rosas, demonstrating why weight classes exist for a reason, dropped the YouTuber with a clean left hook that probably had the prankster questioning his life choices.
However, the situation took an even more serious turn when the YouTuber challenged Rosas to a fight. The result was about as predictable as a sunrise. Rosas dominated the encounter, securing a submission hold that he maintained even after the initial tap. His team had to jump in to save the dominant opponent. This could have had severe consequences for the prankster.
Fortunately, the incident, which has since gone viral, ended with cooler heads prevailing. The prankster then revealed his intentions were meant to be good-natured, and the two eventually buried the hatchet. However, it serves as a stark reminder that pranking professional fighters might not be the wisest career move in the content creation playbook.
