Julian Marquez

"The Cuban Missile Crisis". That's what they call Julian Marquez, and is part of the UFC middleweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 15 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.

This is power striking with numbers behind it — 6 KO/TKO wins, 5.06 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled.

The last fight went to Cody Brundage (KO/TKO (Punches) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 36 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
