TNX 226 is officially here to kick off the new year with a bang. This event marks the first major league showcase of 2026, and the anticipation is already building across the region.
A Night of International Rivalries
TNX 226 promises an adrenaline-fueled card featuring 12 professional bouts. The lineup is truly international, boasting elite athletes from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Cuba. Consequently, fans can expect fierce national pride on display in every round.
The main event is a massive showdown. Local hero Walter Zamora (Costa Rica) will defend his turf against the dangerous Leonardo Morales (Nicaragua). Additionally, the co-main event features a highly anticipated female duel. Verónica Vargas takes on Yurivia Jiménez in a fight that highlights the league’s commitment to inclusion. In fact, this event has doubled female participation compared to previous years.
Building a Regional Legacy
This event is not just a one-off; it is a continuation of a powerful tradition. During 2025, the promoter successfully held three consecutive events—TNX 725, 925, and 1125—in this very same venue.
Those previous international MMA events welcomed fighters from Mexico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, solidifying TNX as a premier platform for combat sports in the region. Now, the 2026 season opener combines seasoned veterans with hungry new talent.
