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.
