MarQuel Mederos

MarQuel Mederos is a 12-1-1 American lightweight who fights from an orthodox stance. A volume-oriented striker, Mederos lands 5.46 significant strikes per minute with 58% accuracy, combining steady output with efficient shot selection.

He also absorbs 4.58 significant strikes per minute, indicating that his offense can produce competitive exchanges rather than low-risk performances. Wrestling is a secondary part of his approach: he averages only 0.23 takedowns per 15 minutes and has converted 8% of his attempts.

However, his 82% takedown defense helps him keep fights in his preferred striking range, while his 0.0 submission average confirms that grappling offense has not been a central finishing route. Mederos earned a split-decision victory over Austin Hubbard in March 2025, then followed it with a unanimous-decision win against Mark Choinski in June.

After fighting Chris Padilla to a majority draw in April 2026, he produced a second-round KO/TKO of Mason Jones in August, finishing the bout at 2:07. That result added another stoppage to a recent run otherwise shaped by extended striking contests and close scorecards.

With no ranking or next opponent listed, Mederos currently stands as an emerging lightweight seeking further divisional progress.
