Turns out God planned the whole thing. Perhaps he’s mad at Raoni Barcelos?
“History continues,” R0sas Jr. wrote on Instagram. “What a special night! Being able to headline my first main event at 21 years old. Dreams coming to reality all through hard work and God’s plan. I felt great out there, I knew I was in for a war, had a lot of fun. Prayers to my opponent, we both pushed each other to our limits, we left it all out there. Thank you all for helping me get better every day and believing in me.”
Fans were bashing Rosas Jr. (13-1) in the comment section of his Instagram post, insisting “El Niño Problema” only won “because the fighter died” while others suggested the former “Contender Series” standout “won by seizure but they ruled it a knockout.” Sounds like the Rosas Jr. victory busted up a few parlays — or maybe fans are just being their toxic selves.
