Raul Rosas vs Raoni Barcelos Prediction 27 September 2026

The 21-year-old Mexican-American athlete Raul Rosas enters the bout with a professional record of 12-1. The foundation of his style is grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, while his main strengths are constant pressure and a desire to finish fights by submission. In his recent appearances, Rosas secured victories over Rob Font, Vince Morales, Aori Qileng, and Ricky Turcios.

The 39-year-old Brazilian representative Raoni Barcelos has 22 wins and 5 losses in his professional career. His fighting style combines high-level wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt skills, and effective striking. In his previous bouts, Barcelos managed to defeat Montel Jackson, Ricky Simon, Cody Garbrandt, and Payton Talbott.

The upcoming matchup will bring together the energy of a young fighter and the extensive experience of a veteran. Despite Barcelos' good current form, Rosas may gain an advantage through superior endurance and a higher pace of action. The Mexican-American will likely look to take the fight to the ground and keep his opponent under control, although the Brazilian's skills give him a solid chance of defending against submission attempts. I consider Raul's unanimous decision victory to be the most likely outcome, thanks to his superiority in control and activity.
