Professional Bullfighter. From an early age, he exhibited a devotion to the world of bullfighting. He initiated his career in the bullrings, confronting the challenges of 'tientas,' 'capeas,' and minor festivities, thus honing his skills in bullfighting. His promising debut in the small plaza of Matamoros, in the state of Chihuahua during the 1958 season, marked the inception of a brilliant novillero journey that thrust him into the limelight. Jaime Rangel swiftly garnered acclaim in Mexico during the late 1950s, emerging as one of the nation's most distinguished novilleros. His 'alternativa,' the formal confirmation of his status as a matador, transpired on January 1, 1961, at the Monumental Plaza in Mexico—a pivotal moment in his career. While his fortunes in Spain were not as robust, where he participated in a mere eleven bullfights, he achieved numerous triumphs in his homeland. In the 1964 season, he was the matador with the most bullfights, totaling fifty-four contracts fulfilled. Following his retirement in 1969, Jaime Rangel continued to wield influence in the bullfighting realm, even assuming the role of president of the National Association of Matadors.
