COMING UP ROSAS

Mummy's boy Raul a blooming marvel

- GARY HITCHCOCK

TEENAGER Raul Rosas Jr has shown he has a killer instinct in the octagon but he is happy to still be a mummy's boy at heart.

The 18-year-old revelled in the lively atmosphere at Noche UFC in Las Vegas last weekend as the company held their first event to coincide with Mexican Independence Day and build on the nation's love of combat sports.

Having seen off Terrence Mitchell inside a minute by TKO, bantamweight Rosas Jr soaked up the acclaim from the T-Mobile Arena crowd before giving his mum, Oyuki Rios (right), a massive hug.
