Superior Challenge 27: Yurivia Jimenez Zepeda vs Aitana Alvarez

Ahead of her match against Aitana Alvarez, Yurivia Jimenez Zepeda is focusing on what she can control. She knows the basics about “Pitbull” Alvarez—her many fights and her experience in major organizations like KSW, UAE Warriors, and OKTAGON.

However, Alvarez stands in the way of Yurivia’s MMA dreams, which aren’t just about her.

“I know she wants to win just as much as I do. But in the end, it’s the best fighter who wins, and I believe in myself. My goal is to become a big name in MMA in Nicaragua,” she explains.

“I want to help the sport grow in my home country.”

When asked about her future plans and what an ideal scenario would look like, Jimenez Zepeda has a clear answer.

“An ideal scenario would be to have my entire team together, where we can fight for the same dream in the same place without needing to emigrate. Having a strong team is so important, and I want us all to be able to fight together.”

Ahead of her journey to Sweden—her first time visiting the country—Jimenez Zepeda has done her homework and prepared for what’s to come.

“I’ve never been to Sweden before,” she says. “But I’ve studied a lot, and it will be a new experience for me!”

On November 30th, we will see if Yurivia Jimenez Zepeda can keep her undefeated record intact when she takes on Aitana Alvarez at Superior Challenge 27. There’s a lot at stake for Jimenez Zepeda, who hopes to put Nicaragua on the MMA map with a victory on Swedish soil.
