Argentinian 24-year-old featherweight Kevin Vallejos has won three fights in just over 11 months as a UFC fighter, and is currently ranked No. 14 at featherweight. He will compete against No. 11 Josh Emmett at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas, which will mark the first five-round bout of his five-year pro career. Despite comparisons to Ilia Topuria and his potential for a title shot, he insists he is not in a rush to become a one-time champion and wants to continue to defend his belt and create a legacy in the sport. Vallejeos, who turned pro at age 19, has been able to control his anxiety and remains calm in his pursuit of the top position.
