In the dynamic world of mixed martial arts, age is often merely a number. This sentiment rings true with Caolan Loughran. He recently doubled down on his bold callout of 19-year-old phenom Raul Rosas Jr. at UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot.

The Irish fighter is known for his relentless striking and grappling prowess. Loughran initially caused a stir when he brazenly challenged the young Raul Rosas Jr. This came after his win against Angel Pacheco. Loughran doubled down on his take at the post-fight presser. This is what he said:

I feel like a d*ckhead calling out an 19-year-old lad. But we're in the same position. ..Let’s do it. I think I'll punch his f*cking head in.

Loughran remained undeterred in his callout of the young fighter at the presser for UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot. The Irishman believed that he was in no position to call out top guys like Sean O’Malley. Loughran believed that Rosas was a good fighter but lacked intellect. He mentioned the card for Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor PPV card as a great landmark to fight in.


Loughran’s confidence stems from his impressive professional record of 9 wins and one loss. He has more potential to grow at 27 years old. Raul Rosas Jr’s meteoric rise has captivated fans worldwide. He boasts a record of 8 wins and one loss. The Mexican prodigy has displayed remarkable poise and skill far beyond his years.
