Kevin
Vallejos can’t believe how much he’ll earn under his new
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.
Vallejos revealed that he signed a new deal ahead of his pivotal
clash against Aljamain
Sterling at
UFC Qatar on Nov. 21 at ABHA Arena in Doha. The Argentine also
claims a title shot awaits if he beats the former bantamweight
champion.

Kevin Vallejos signs new UFC deal before Aljamain Sterling
fight, claims victory would earn Alexander Volkanovski title
shot
Vallejos (18-1) announced the agreement in a pair of social media
posts.
“WE just signed a new deal with the UFC,” Vallejos wrote on X. “I
can’t believe how much money I’m getting paid to fight.”
After defending his title at
UFC 333, featherweight champion Alexander
Volkanovski said Sterling (26-5) deserves the next title shot
if he beats Vallejos. However, the Australian identified Jean Silva
(18-3) as the next contender if Sterling loses to “El Chino.”
Vallejos, meanwhile, is confident he’ll secure that opportunity
with a victory at UFC Qatar.
“Guys if WE beat Sterling, WE get Volk,” Vallejos posted on X.
Silva handed Vallejos his lone professional loss in his first
Dana White’s Contender Series appearance in 2023. Vallejos
returned the following year and earned a UFC contract with a
first-round knockout. He has since won all four of his UFC bouts,
finishing three opponents.
