It is quite true that Jean Silva e Kevin Vallejos They don't rule out a rematch. However, they don't treat it as a priority either. Both the Brazilian and the Argentinian want to win the UFC featherweight title (up to 65,8 kg) and believe that this duel could happen precisely in a title fight.

One scenario already mentioned in the prospectus was that of Jean Silva dethrone Alexander Volkanovsky and then face him as a challenger for the belt. Either way, the eventual rematch has all the makings of a great battle, given that the first encounter was marked by intense striking.

On that occasion, in September 2023, the fight took place at Dana White's Contender Series, where the Brazilian came out on top by winning via unanimous decision and securing a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
