ANALYSIS
It was a brilliant effort from Marcos in a fight that went off as a pick 'em. The undefeated Marcos pressured Castaneda on the feet from the very start, firing off a ton of volume, in addition to scoring the biggest blow of the bout, a Round 3 knockdown. Marcos built a reputation as a powerful, explosive striker on the Peru regional scene prior to his company arrival, and that has carried over during his time with the UFC. Marocs is 3-0 (1NC) with the promotion, in addition to picking up a unanimous decision win in Dana White's Contender Series back in September 2022.

Two fouls lead to no contest
Marcos and Aori Qileng fought to a no contest (accidental low blow) at 3:28 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a crushing result for Marcos in a fight in which he dominated from start to abbreviated finish. Of course, he has no one to blame but himself. Yes, the two low blows committed against Qileng were accidental, but they were both fouls. Aori appeared to be in legitimate discomfort, but he also appeared to have zero interest in continuing in a bout in which he almost certainly would have emerged with a loss. Marcos' undefeated professional record remains, but that's little solace given the fact he gave away a near-certain victory here.
