"Any of those four names are good. Obviously Volk being the champion. I think a fight against Yair or Brian would be great. I think those would be good fights. Everybody knows about the history with Jean Silva. It would be a great fight. I root for the guy. I want him to get the title so I can have a rematch against him for that belt."
"I wouldn't say a name because I really want to improve, I want to get better. There are things that I want to work in camp. Little by little, I want to develop my skills and become a complete fighter before pursuing the biggest matchups in the division."
Kevin Vallejos secured a dominant first-round victory over veteran Josh Emmett at UFC Vegas 114, finishing the fight at 3:33 with a barrage of strikes. This headlining performance marks his biggest win to date and extends his winning streak to seven consecutive professional fights, including four UFC victories. Vallejos expressed interest in fighting top featherweight contenders including Alexander Volkanovski, Yair Rodriguez, Brian Ortega, and Jean Silva. He has previous history with Silva, having lost a unanimous decision on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2023. Vallejos emphasized his focus on continued improvement rather than making specific callouts, indicating his commitment to developing his skills before pursuing high-profile matchups.
