Background
The fourth event of the 2024 season of the Mexican company Ultimate Warrior Challenge Mexico (UWC) will be headed by the fight for the Middle Championship in an international duel between Argentina vs. Mexico.
“This week our matchmaker Alejandro Riqué gave us the finalized poster, there are seven fights and each of them looks very interesting for MMA fans and UWC followers.
“We will simply have back, at last, our first and only double champion Antonio Gordillo, who now seeks to make history again by being the first to defend the 185-pound belt,” commented Alejandro Islas.
The president of UWC indicated that the first challenger for the crown will be the Mexican Nayib “Cachorro” López (16-2-0), who has international experience and seeks to remove the native of Catamarca, Argentina, from his path.
Gordillo (18-5-1), a member of Entram Gym, has held the title since July 2, 2023 when he beat Ricardo “Woody” Chávez for the vacant belt and this July 28 he will try to have a successful defense against the Atizapán fighter from Zaragoza, State of Mexico.
While the semifinal duel of the evening will be in Bantamweight with the debut in the UWC cage of Johnny “Kid Kvenbo” Múñoz Jr (12-4-0), from Norco, California, who has experience in the Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC).
The member of C-Quence Jiu-Jitsu will clash gloves against Juan Pablo Mendoza (8-6-0), from JM Team MMA, from Zipaquira, Cudinamarca, Colombia, in a duel of utmost importance for both.
“We are going to have one of the best posters so far this year, it is simply a great pleasure to be able to announce Johnny within UWC, since he has been one of our reporters on English broadcasts for years.
“And it will be a great matchup against Juan Pablo, who has several victories since he was with us a few years ago. And the rest of the program will also be very important with new elements of the AMM,” Islas stressed.
In addition, the fighter César Abad (6-1-0), from Guayaquil, Ecuador, returns to UWC to face Mario “Malandro” Martínez (3-3-0), from Letales MMA, from Puebla de Zaragoza, Puebla, in Lightweight combat.
