Kevin Vallejos (14-1) is a 23-year-old Argentinian fighter who has risen to prominence with his TKO win over Cam Teague on Dana White’s Contender Series in September. He has built up quite a CV in South America and he now gets his shot in the Octagon. He previously fought in the Contender Series back in September 2023 but he lost a unanimous decision to Jean Silva.
