Mixed martial arts career

Early Career

Julian Marquez began his professional mixed martial arts career in may of 2014, defeating his opponent Charles Rooks by TKO in just 53 seconds. More than one year later he compiled his second career win. On the 26th February of 2016 Marquez suffered his first loss at Bellator 150.[2] After three rounds his opponent Chris Harris was given the unanimous decision win. Julian Marquez went on to win his next three fights in a row including a win over UFC veteran Matt Hamill before debuting in the UFC.

UFC

Julian Marquez participated in Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series 4 on the 1st August 2017 against Phil Hawes. He won the fight by Knockout after landing a head kick in the second round.

A middleweight bout between Vitor Miranda and Julian Marquez was expected to take place on December 16, 2017 at UFC on Fox: Lawler vs. dos Anjos However, on December 4, it was announced that Miranda was pulled from the fight, citing injury and was replaced by Darren Stewart.[3] He won the Fight by Submission via guillotine choke in the second round.[4] He was awarded a Fight of the Night bonus award.[5]

Julian Marquez faced Alessio Di Chirico on July 6, 2018 at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.[6] At the weigh-ins, Julian Marquez weighed in at 190 lbs, four pounds over the middleweight limit of 186. He was fined 30% of his fight purse to Di Chirco and the bout proceeded at a catchweight.[7] He lost the fight via split decision.[8]

During his bout with Alessio, Julian suffered a fully torn latissimus dorsi, a rare injury especially to the extent Julian had substained. This injury led to Julian having to get two separate surgeries and leading him to miss almost two full years. [9]

Marquez was scheduled to face Saparbek Safarov on August 29, 2020 at UFC Fight Night 175.[10] However, the bout was moved to UFC Fight Night 183 in November after Safarov faced travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] In turn, Safarov pulled out due to weight cut issues a day before the event and the pairing was canceled once again.[12]

Marquez is expected to face Maki Pitolo on February 13, 2021 at UFC 258.[13]
