The sixth edition of 'La Velada del Año,' organized by Spanish content creator Ibai Llanos, took place recently with notable performances, surprise guests, and intense fights. Mexican participants included Natalia García and Samantha Rivera (Rivers), who faced Spanish fighters. In her match, Rivers lost to Spanish competitor Roció López (RoRo). Meanwhile, Mexican actor Poncho De Nigris criticized 'La Velada del Año' on social media, highlighting his event 'Ring Royale,' which had 7.67 million live viewers in 2026. He claimed his event would offer more entertainment and fairness in matchups, specifically addressing Rivers. Rivers responded to claims about differences in protective gear used by competitors, explaining that RoRo’s change was due to medical reasons related to a previous nose surgery.
