UFC on ESPN 64 winner MarQuel Mederos says ‘f*ck it’ and calls out lightweight veteran

MEXICO CITY – MarQuel Mederos was n&#8217, t absolutely thrilled with his performance, but a dispatch was n&#8217, t the first thing on his head.

But just as he was going to actually drop a namedrop once and for all, he had a change of heart. Following his UFC on ESPN 64 win over Austin Hubbard on Saturday in Mexico City, Mederos ( 10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) mentioned the experienced veteran Jared Gordon ( 20-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) as a potential next fight.

&#8220, I have some things in mind, &#8221, Mederos told MMA Junkie and other writers at a news conference after the gain. &#8220, But absolutely after that combat, I think I need to lay my ass down and go do some training. Therefore, we can speak about that later. That&#8217, s my subsequent walk. Basically, you know what? F*ck it. I had Jared Gordon in brain and that &#8217, s who I wanted. If they can make that happen, let&#8217, s make it happen. I don&#8217, t actually have a day automatically, but I&#8217, d love to have that fight. &#8221,

Mederos said the notification is rooted less in what Gordon does and more in his own self-confidence. Mederos has yet to gain as a skilled and thinks he has the abilities to hit a shrewd veteran like Gordon.

&#8220, I like a lot of things, &#8221, Mederos said. &#8220, You see when you ask me about it, it puts a smile on my face. I like a lot of things. I more like the idea of what I may do, rather than what he has going on. But I love the idea of the fight, only in general. &#8221,
