Kevin
Vallejos believes he can avenge his loss against Jean Silva
in a rematch.
Vallejos suffered his lone professional loss against Silva in his
first
Dana White’s Contender Series opportunity in 2023. While Silva
quickly rose to stardom in the
UFC, Vallejos finally earned his UFC contract in his second
Contender Series outing in 2024.
Silva finished his first five UFC opponents before suffering a loss
in a featherweight title eliminator against Diego Lopes
last year. Silva has since rebounded with a win over fellow
contender Arnold
Allen this past January.
Making a Name for Himself
Meanwhile, Vallejos has racked up four UFC victories with three
finishes. The 24-year-old Argentinian prospect established himself
as a star in his own right with a first round knockout win over
Josh
Emmett in his first UFC main event this past March. Vallejos is
now calling for a rematch against Silva. Vallejos recently posted an AI generated photo of Silva tucked in
in bed while he waits at the door with a sinister look.
“Buenas noches”, Vallejos wrote.
