Zuffa Boxing 2: Valenzuela vs Torres, Bohachuk vs. Butaev

Zuffa Boxing returns to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas tonight live on Paramount+. Jose Valenzuela against Diego Torres leads the night. Valenzuela comes back to 135 pounds where most of his professional work was done. His fourteen wins and three defeats reflect a career spent learning in public rather than being hidden. Nearly all his stoppages came at lightweight, and the drop back down reads less like nostalgia and more like course correction. He knows this range. He knows the pace.

Torres enters with a different profile. Twenty-two wins against one loss, nineteen stoppages, and limited exposure on major U.S. cards. At twenty-eight, he is no prospect, but he is still being sized up. Las Vegas will be new territory. Ten rounds at lightweight will test whether his pressure travels or stalls.

Neither side is protected here. Valenzuela is not rebuilding against a soft opponent. Torres is not being rushed into a belt conversation. Zuffa has paired two fighters who still need answers. At lightweight, errors show quickly. That keeps the fight honest.

The co-main favors control over chaos

Serhii Bohachuk meets Radzhab Butaev over ten rounds at middleweight. Bohachuk’s twenty-six wins came through pressure and volume, with three defeats marking the limits of that style. Butaev arrives with one loss and fewer hard rounds behind him. This fight will reward discipline, not impulse.

Radivoje Kalajdzic opens the broadcast against Oleksandr Gvozdyk at light heavyweight.
