Exclusive Interview on En Vivo Con Alrey
Last year, we sat down with the rising star for an exclusive interview. Right before his early November schedule, Vallejos joined us on “En Vivo Con Alrey.” At that time, he was deep in training for a bout against Seung “STING” Choi. During the episode, he opened up about his journey.
He spoke passionately about representing Argentina in the Octagon. Furthermore, he discussed the rapid development of MMA in his home country. His story highlights the grit required to succeed in this sport. Yet, one topic stood out above the rest. He explained exactly why he wants his rematch with Jean Silva.
A Stunning Performance of the Night
Vallejos backed up his words with action recently. He last fought on December 13, 2025, at the UFC Apex. The bout was part of the exciting Royval vs. Kape fight card. Vallejos stepped into the cage against Giga “Ninja” Chikadze. The result was nothing short of spectacular.
“El Chino” claimed a decisive victory within the first round. He utilized a devastating spinning backfist followed by brutal elbows to secure the KO/TKO. Consequently, his explosive display earned him the Performance of the Night bonus.
The Road to Redemption in 2026
Despite the accolade, Vallejos remains hungry. His focus is laser-sharp on avenging his past. The victory over Chikadze proves he is ready for the top tier. Now, the world waits to see if the matchmakers grant his wish.
Will 2026 be the year they settle the score? You need to hear his side of the story. Watch the exclusive interview with Kevin “El Chino” Vallejos on “En Vivo con Alrey” now!
