A YouTuber learned the hard way not to prank UFC fighter Raul Rosas Jr., as a gym prank escalated into a sparring session where Rosas overpowered him with punches and a rear-naked choke before cooler heads prevailed.
Thinking about pranking a UFC fighter? Tread carefully, especially if it’s Raul Rosas Jr.
One YouTuber found this out the hard way. He targeted the 19-year-old bantamweight sensation. The prank began on a treadmill at the gym—things got heated quickly.
After a brief pause to let tensions simmer down, the prankster reappeared. This time, he wore boxing gloves and approached Rosas during his bag work.
Rosas saw him, landed a punch, and things got separated again. You’d think that’d be the end, right? Nope. The prankster was coaxed into sparring with Rosas. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well.
Check out the clip below for a taste of the chaos—or watch the full video above if you’re feeling brave!
In the sparring session, Rosas dropped his opponent with a massive shot. Then, he unloaded more punches before switching tactics.
Off came the gloves! Rosas applied a rear-naked choke, got a tap out, and held on just a tad longer than necessary.
Finally, the prankster revealed his intentions. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, thankfully.
