This event, organized by the promoter WOW FC, linked to world champion Ilia Topuria and football star Cristiano Ronaldo, arrived in Valencia with the aim of surpassing the successes of Madrid and Barcelona. Topuria's presence, just days before his next international commitment, generated maximum anticipation. His triumphant entry, accompanied by Valencian presenter Pablo Motos, was met with a thunderous ovation that kicked off a night full of adrenaline.
One of the most emotional moments of the night was the retirement of Valencian fighter Enoc Solves. In what was his last professional fight, Solves successfully defended his belt against Daniel Landero. The veteran local fighter prevailed with a forceful offensive, retaining the title and ending his career as absolute champion in front of his home crowd.
To say goodbye like this, in a packed Roig Arena, is a dream come true for any Valencian athlete.
The event offered an exceptional technical level with several outstanding fights. In the co-main event, Damian Rzepecki dominated Corneliu Rotaru by unanimous decision. Antonio Fofirca extended his undefeated streak with a technical KO against Jonathan Venancino in the second round. Submission victories by Geison Santana (rear-naked choke) and debutant Levi Batchelor (guillotine) also stood out. Local talent was represented by Santi Higuera (WOW Academy), who opened the night with his fifth consecutive victory against Johny Mendoza.
The success of WOW FC 29 solidifies the Roig Arena not only as the home of Valencia Basket but also as a versatile venue capable of hosting major entertainment events worldwide. This milestone reinforces Valencia's image as a leading city for international sporting events, confirming that MMA has found a loyal stronghold in the capital of the Turia for future top-tier competitions.
