Vallejos Shines in Three-Round War
Las Vegas, NV – Kevin Vallejos and Danny Silva didn’t hold back when they kicked off the main card at UFC Vegas 108. Both featherweights came in with just one loss—and left it all inside the Octagon. But by the time the final horn sounded, it was clear: Vallejos was the sharper, busier, and more accurate fighter.
From the opening bell, Vallejos took center control, mixing kicks and punches while Silva worked the outside. A late-round takedown by Silva added drama to round one, but Vallejos came back even stronger in the second, tagging Silva repeatedly with his hands and stuffing takedowns with ease.
Round three was an all-out brawl. Silva pressed forward with confidence, but Vallejos landed the cleaner shots—connecting with a highlight-worthy spinning backfist near the end. Judges scored it unanimously for Vallejos: 29-28, 30-27, 30-27.
Is Vallejos the Next Ilia Topuria?
