Kevin Vallejos has made his future plans clear, hoping to get the fight with a UFC great once he KOs Aljamain Sterling.
The surging Argentine is set to take on Sterling on the 21st of November in the co-main event of UFC Qatar 2026, set to be headlined by Prochazka vs. Stirling.
In a recent episode of the podcast with Israel Adesanya and Demetrious Johnson, the UFC great in question, Alexander Volkanovski, called him a ‘little animal.’ He said:
There is one guy that…I haven’t watched enough of him, but I’ve seen some highlights, and he looks like a little animal too. I don’t know if he’s Argentinian or Venezuelan, I can’t remember what he was…I think it might be him [after DJ name drops Kevin Vallejos].
Volkanovski added that he might not be around in the UFC to fight young, up-and-coming fighters like Vallejos.
