MarQuel Mederos is a Denver-raised lightweight who earned his UFC contract through Dana White's Contender Series and has not lost since his lone pro defeat, running a 10-fight unbeaten streak. He is a clean, technical boxer who lands at a 58 percent clip, one of the better accuracy marks in the division. Six of his eleven wins have come by knockout, and he almost never looks for takedowns, preferring to win exchanges on the feet. His last outing was a hard-fought majority draw with Chris Padilla, the man fighting one bout after him on this same card.
