Kosport Magazine: Victor Hugo Gets New Opponent for UFC Vegas 90

Exciting news for MMA fans as Victor Hugo, a rising star in the UFC, has a new opponent for UFC Vegas 90. The event, set to take place at the UFC APEX, was originally supposed to feature Hugo against Alatengheili. However, due to undisclosed reasons, Alatengheili was forced to withdraw from the bout.

But fear not, as Hugo will now face off against fellow promotional newcomer and Contender Series veteran, Pedro Falcao. This news was confirmed by multiple sources, including MMA Mania and MMA Fighting.

Falcao, who holds a record of 16-3, competed on the Contender Series in October 2021 and earned a third-round TKO finish. Despite his impressive performance, he did not receive a UFC contract. However, he returned to MMA competition in November and secured a submission win at Tuff-N-Uff 134.

On the other hand, Hugo is set to make his octagon debut after earning a contract on the Contender Series in October. He showcased his skills with a kneebar submission win, but unfortunately missed weight for his scheduled bout at UFC Sao Paulo in November.

With both fighters hungry for their first UFC win, this matchup is sure to be an exciting one for fans. And with the event headlined by a highly anticipated rematch between Brendan Allen and Chris Curtis, UFC Vegas 90 is shaping up to be a must-watch event.
