Flyweight, Gabriel Urbino (6-0)
A name flying well under the radar is Gabriel “Chacal” Urbino. Even as a dedicated flyweight follower, he initially slipped past me—but he’s firmly on my radar now. Training out of Entram Gym should only accelerate his development.
Urbino is a well-rounded fighter who can mix in wrestling, and while his ground game is still developing, it’s serviceable and carries a real submission threat. On the feet, he’s a fan-friendly watch, operating with a kind of controlled chaos. He’s comfortable trading in the pocket without getting reckless, showing solid head movement and a varied inside boxing attack—mixing hooks, uppercuts, and body work effectively.
At range, he strings together combinations and often finishes with heavy outside leg kicks, while his right cross stands out as a dangerous weapon. Overall, Urbino is an exciting prospect with pressure, cardio, and a skill set that continues to evolve—making him a tough out for anyone.
Flyweight, Javi Quintero (4-1)
Another under-the-radar prospect is Javi “El Lobo” Quintero. His fights are hard to find, which makes him a bit tricky to evaluate. Quintero lost his pro debut but hasn’t been beaten since, finishing all four of his opponents in the first round—three of them in 30 seconds or less. That said, his four wins have come against fighters with a combined 0-18 record, so it’s still unclear how he’ll perform against tougher competition.
Skill-wise, Quintero looks like a sharp striker, with good countering, movement, and power. Having trained at Fighting Nerds from the start, there’s reason to believe his success could carry over as he steps up in competition.
