‘El Gaucho’ Seeks Victory in Casino Cage
The Gran Madrid Casino in Torrelodones is making history this Friday by hosting its very first Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event — the Gran Madrid Golden Series. This night promises explosive action and unforgettable moments, with over a dozen thrilling international fights scheduled. Leading the charge is Argentine fighter Alan ‘El Gaucho’ Villalba (19-9-0), who will headline the event in a high-stakes battle against Andrés ‘El Sabueso Molano’ (8-6-0). ‘El Gaucho’ seeks victory in the casino cage!
New Beginnings at Climent Club
Villalba arrived in Spain just three months ago to join the prestigious Climent Club — the same gym that propelled UFC star Ilia Topuria to the top. Coming from a family of boxers, Alan has already claimed championship titles in Chile with LFN and in Argentina with Invictus Deluxe.
Before landing in Spain, Villalba sharpened his skills in Brazil at the legendary Chute Boxe Academy. This renowned MMA gym is famous for producing elite fighters. There, he trained alongside Charles Oliveira, Topuria’s upcoming opponent.
Training with a Legend
“Charles is a fantastic person,” Villalba shares. “We trained together, talked a lot, and even sparred. He’s a role model in every way.” This unique experience boosted Villalba’s confidence and sharpened both his technical skills and mental toughness ahead of his next fight.
Focused on Redemption and Glory
This weekend’s bout at the Gran Madrid Golden Series is a chance for ‘El Gaucho’ to bounce back after a recent loss in Russia. Facing a respectful yet dangerous opponent in Andrés ‘El Sabueso Molano,’ Villalba is hungry for victory.
“My rival is respectful, but I’m coming with everything,” he says. “I hope he’s prepared because my plan is to hurt him and, if possible, finish the fight in the first round.” The stakes couldn’t be higher. Additionally, the atmosphere at the Gran Madrid Casino — a historic and elegant venue — adds extra intensity to the night.
