Zuffa Boxing 02: Second Card Set for Feb. 1 at UFC Apex

Zuffa Boxing is moving fast. The promotion is already lining up its second show, scheduled for February 1, 2026 in Las Vegas, less than two weeks after its debut card on January 23.

According to Dan Rafael, the event is set for the UFC Apex and will feature three ten-round fights, built around experienced names rather than belts.

The expected lineup reflects that approach.

Jose Rayo Valenzuela is slated to face Diego Torres. Valenzuela arrives off the March 2025 loss of his WBA junior welterweight belt to Gary Antuanne Russell, a fight where he fell behind on tempo and never recovered. Before that, he rebuilt his position with wins over Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and Chris Colbert, showing he can still operate at contender level when the pace suits him. Torres is there to test consistency, not to chase hardware.

Serhii Bohachuk is penciled in against Radzhab Butaev, a pairing that keeps both men in the hard rounds business. Bohachuk returned to winning form last April, stopping Anthony Holloway after the June 2024 loss to David Benavidez. Against Benavidez, Bohachuk stayed competitive late but paid for early fades. This fight keeps him active without forcing another physical cliff edge.

Oleksandr Gvozdyk is expected to meet Radivoje Kalajdzic. Gvozdyk remains one of the more educated former champions at light heavyweight. Since dropping a decision to Benavidez in 2024, he has focused on rounds and positioning rather than chase fights. Kalajdzic fits that aim. Durable, experienced, and unlikely to give ground cheaply.

The shape of the card says plenty about Zuffa Boxing’s early thinking. No titles. No rushed stakes. Ten-round fights, known names, and controlled matchmaking. It is a slow-build model, closer to a league rhythm than a traditional boxing promotion.
