""Just a lot of growth. I was looking at it today - I got into the UFC, and I think I was only pro for two years from the time I got into the UFC, which that's not common at all. And I had only been training martial arts four years before that.""
""It's been a lot of growth. I repeatedly watched all my fights, even going back to my amateurs before this, and just worked everything that I saw was a hole and just tightened it up these last nine or 10 months.""
""I don't necessarily look at the name. I just look at the man for what he is and what he brings to the table. I've seen what he brings to the table and I'm ready to do work.""
MarQuel Mederos achieved his third consecutive UFC win in June 2025 but has been inactive for nearly 10 months. During this time, he focused on personal growth and skill refinement. Mederos reviewed all his fights, including amateur bouts, to identify and improve weaknesses. He believes this hiatus, while not ideal, has elevated his game. He is now set to face Taco Padilla, emphasizing the importance of the matchup over the opponent's name recognition. Mederos is eager to showcase his improvements at UFC 327.
