We are in for a high-paced featherweight clash at this UFC Fight Night between the legendary karate striker Giga Chikadze and the young powerhouse Kevin Vallejos. The betting odds are really leaning hard toward the prospect, and that’s mostly because of the sheer age difference and recent momentum. See our best Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos match prediction.
Giga Chikadze, the renowned Ninja, is well known for his devastating "Giga Kick" and elite kickboxing background. His distance control is usually surgical, but lately, that technical brilliance hasn't been enough to stop the slide. He’s coming off a two-fight skid, with his last loss being a unanimous decision to David Onama in April 2025, a fight where he just seemed a step behind and struggled with the pressure.
That's a bad sign when you are facing a relentless, high-volume puncher like Kevin Vallejos. Meanwhile, El Chino (Vallejos) is the complete opposite right now. He's only 24 and is riding a huge wave of confidence, coming off a clear unanimous decision win over Danny Silva in August 2025.
Vallejos is shorter, stockier, and loves to blitz opponents to close the massive six-inch reach advantage that Chikadze has. His style is all about aggression and output, landing 6.28 significant strikes per minute, which is exactly the kind of relentless pace that has cracked Chikadze's armor before.

Our Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos Prediction
This matchup heavily favors the younger and more explosive Kevin Vallejos. Chikadze's patented Giga Kick is always a threat, but the sheer volume and pace that El Chino is going to push for fifteen minutes will be too much to manage for the aging former contender. Vallejos has the strength and youth to absorb the early punishment and then turn the fight into a grueling, inside-the-pocket battle.
We expect the Argentine to push the pace from the first bell and secure a clear win on the scorecards or force a late stoppage. Hence, our Giga Chikadze vs Kevin Vallejos match prediction is that Vallejos wins by KO, TKO, DQ or Decision.
