El Gaucho’ Seeks Victory in the Casino Cage
Gran Casino Madrid in Torrelodones makes history this Friday by hosting its first Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) event: the Gran Madrid Golden Series. Tonight promises explosive action and unforgettable moments, with more than a dozen exciting international fights scheduled. Headlining the bill is Argentine fighter Alan ‘El Gaucho’ Villalba (19-9-0), who will star in a high-stakes fight against Andres ‘El Sabueso Molano’ (8-6-0), with ‘El Gaucho’ looking for 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. Hailing from a family of boxers, Alan has already won championship titles in Chile with LFN and in Argentina with Invictus Deluxe.
Before coming to Spain, Villalba honed his skills in Brazil at the legendary Chute Boxe academy. This renowned MMA gym is famous for training elite fighters. There he trained alongside Charles Oliveira, Topuria’s next 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 aspect.” This unique experience boosted Villalba’s confidence and sharpened both his technical skills and mental toughness for the upcoming fight.
Focused on Redemption and Glory
This weekend’s Gran Madrid Golden Series fight is a chance for ‘El Gaucho’ to bounce back after a recent loss in Russia. Facing a respectful but dangerous opponent like Andres ‘El Sabueso Molano,’ Villalba is hungry for victory.
“My opponent is respectful, but I’m going all out,” he says. “I hope he’s ready because my plan is to hurt him and, if possible, finish the fight in the first round.” The stakes couldn’t be higher. Plus, the atmosphere of the Gran Casino Madrid – a historic and elegant venue – adds extra intensity to the night.
