Lucas Rosa was raised in Peabody, Massachusetts, the youngest of the Rosa fighting family. He won the Massachusetts Division 2 state wrestling title in 2014 and captained his high school's wrestling and rugby teams.
He graduated from Wheaton College in 2018 with a degree in philosophy and creative writing, then won a Watson Fellowship — a one-year, fully funded research grant — to study ancient martial arts and ritual in Cambodia, Thailand, and the Netherlands.
In January 2020 he relocated to South Florida and helped establish American Combat Gym (ACG) in Boca Raton alongside his older brother, UFC veteran Charles "Boston Strong" Rosa. He trains under Charles and UFC veteran Charles "Chainsaw" McCarthy.
He turned pro after a perfect amateur run that included a Komodo kickboxing tournament championship and Rize FC's 2021 Fighter of the Year award. He has not lost a professional fight.
