Peruvian Featherweight Competes Across Two Continents
At age 39 Vicente Vargas stands five-feet-eight and trains out of Team Ludus in Lima, Peru. Known in the cage as El Cemento, he has built a professional record of 22 wins, 7 losses and no draws. Vargas’s endurance and experience are evident in every round he fights, and those qualities have carried him beyond his home country’s borders.
Vargas currently holds the No. 42 spot in the Central & South America featherweight rankings. He is not eligible for any sub-regional lists, having not met the minimum bout requirements in those smaller pools. Abroad, however, his recent activity has earned him the No. 10 ranking in the Middle East & Africa. That dual standing reflects his commitment to compete in at least two of his last six fights in each region.
All of Vargas’s regional rankings come at featherweight, a division in which he has appeared at least once in each of his last two outings. His 29-fight career captures more than just wins and losses; it maps a fighter willing to cross borders and adapt to different audiences. In today’s global MMA landscape, Vargas’s path exemplifies how a record forged across continents can define a fighter’s profile as much as any finish.
