Background

The wait is over. This Friday, August 22, Monterrey will witness an unmissable showdown: the highly anticipated rematch for the LUX Fight League flyweight title unification, where absolute champion Jorge Calvo will face interim champion Luis Iván “Niño Azteca” Rodríguez.

The Showcenter will be the stage for a true clash of generations, styles, and banners, promising to ignite the cage and mark a turning point in the history of the 125-pound division within Latin America's leading MMA promotion.

LUX Fight League returns to the Sultana del Norte, presenting a fight card packed with power in every bout.

In the main event, Luis Iván Rodriguez, in his second bout and now as interim champion, seeks to capture the undisputed flyweight title against the league's most dominant champion, "Tico" Jorge Calvo.

Originally from San José, Costa Rica, Jorge Calvo boasts an impressive professional record of 19 wins and 6 losses. At 33 years old, he has established himself as the most dominant flyweight in Latin America, with a streak of six consecutive wins, including his recent successful defense against Enrique González at LUX 048.

Considered a benchmark in Latin American grappling, he has accumulated 11 submission victories, notably five of which came by rear-naked choke in his last seven fights. His only defeat in LUX dates back almost five years to current UFC fighter Alessandro "Nono" Costa, and since then he has demonstrated an almost unmatchable level.

On the challenger's side, Luis Iván "Niño Azteca," just 25 years old and a native of Chihuahua, Mexico, has established himself as one of the most prominent faces of the new generation. His record of 9 wins and 1 loss reflects a constantly growing career, marked by his learning and evolutionary mindset. That only loss came precisely against Jorge Calvo at LUX 031, a fight that left him with a thorn in his side and a clearer goal than ever.

Since then, the Chao Team member has racked up victories over fighters such as Víctor Núñez, Yahir Ramírez, Sergio Quintero, and Alexandro Bravo, building a solid path to the interim belt. His versatility is evident with his 5 submission finishes and 2 TKOs, proving that he can dominate on any fighting field.

The confrontation between Jorge Calvo and Luis Iván “Niño Azteca” Rodríguez goes beyond a fight for a belt: it's a rematch steeped in history, a clash of styles, and a duel pitting experience against youth. On one hand, there's the solidity and track record of the Costa Rican champion; on the other, the youth, hunger, and explosiveness of the Mexican, who dreams of dethroning the king.

Both have proven they can close a fight at any time. They arrive with different motivations, but with a common goal: to leave the Show Center Complex as the division's sole undisputed champion.

The flyweight division is on fire, and LUX 054 will witness an unforgettable chapter in Latin American MMA. Scheduled for Friday, August 22, in Monterrey, is a fight that will define not only a title, but also a legacy.
