Kevin Vallejos lost his only professional fight to Jean Silva during his first Dana White’s Contender Series opportunity in 2023. Silva later rose quickly in the UFC, while Vallejos earned his UFC contract in a second Contender Series appearance in 2024. Silva won his first five UFC opponents, then lost a featherweight title eliminator to Diego Lopes, and later rebounded with a win over Arnold Allen in January. Vallejos has since recorded four UFC victories, including three finishes. He earned attention with a first-round knockout of Josh Emmett in his first UFC main event in March and is now calling for a rematch against Silva, posting an AI-generated image of Silva in bed with a threatening caption.
