UFC Fight Night start time for Raul Rosas vs. Raoni Barcelos: Where to watch live on Paramount+

Bantamweights collide in the main event from Las Vegas
UFC Fight Night start time for Raul Rosas vs. Raoni Barcelos: Where to watch live on Paramount+

Sep 26, 2026 at 2:00 pm ET • 3 min read

UFC action returns to Las Vegas with an interesting Fight Night event on Saturday. In the main event, one of the UFC's brightest young stars returns to action when Raul Rosas Jr. takes on Raoni Barcelos.

Rosas' spot atop the card is interesting because he will become the youngest fighter to headline a UFC event. Despite joining the UFC at just 17, Rosas has found plenty of success in the Octagon. The young American has a five-fight winning streak since dropping his second UFC fight.

Barcelos enters the Octagon at 39, giving him far more experience in life and inside the Octagon. While he went through a rough 1-4 stretch in the middle of his UFC run, that came between two different five-fight winning streaks, including the one he is currently riding.
