Jose Valenzuela vs Diego Torres

Zuffa Boxing, the new boxing promotion backed by the UFC’s parent company, is moving fast. Just weeks after launching its debut card, the organization has announced its second event set for Sunday, February 1, 2026, at the UFC Apex (also referred to as Meta Apex) in Las Vegas. The show will stream live on Paramount+.

Headlining the card is a compelling 10-round matchup featuring former world champion Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela (14-3, 9 KOs) against the hard-hitting Diego “Azabache” Torres (22-1, 19 KOs).

Valenzuela, the 26-year-old southpaw from Los Mochis, Mexico (fighting out of Renton, Washington), captured the WBA super lightweight title in 2024 but dropped it in a unanimous decision loss to Gary Antuanne Russell in March 2025. After a strong run—including wins over Isaac Cruz and Chris Colbert—“Rayo” now looks to rebound and rebuild momentum under the Zuffa banner. Known for his sharp boxing skills and power, he’s a fan favorite with explosive potential.
