The card shows the scale of the event, bringing together well-known names and some of the sport’s top fighters. Representatives from Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, and Brazil will all compete on the same night, each carrying the weight of national pride and their own fanbases behind them.

The most anticipated part of the night is a submission-only rematch between Marlon “Chito” Vera and UFC Hall of Famer José Aldo, around six years after their first meeting back in 2020, this time in the same arena where they originally fought. Also on the card, former UFC title challenger Colby Covington faces off against Mayton Perea, a recent addition to the UFC roster who’ll get the chance to compete in front of a home crowd.

The event follows a country-versus-country format, with 15 bouts in total featuring 30 fighters during the card. Things start off with a preliminary lineup of up-and-coming fighters looking to prove themselves, before building toward the night’s headline matchups.

To mark the occasion, 1xBet is offering fans in the region a promotion connected to the event: using code HYPELATAM unlocks a 100% bonus on a first deposit.

The action takes place at Coliseo General Rumiñahui in Quito on October 4, with 1xBet positioning it as the biggest combat sports event LATAM will see this year. 1xBet reminds bettors to gamble responsibly and that the platform is intended for users aged 18 and over.
