Julian Marquez kept his perfect finishing rate in tact following another jaw-dropping performance at UFC Vegas 23.
The former Contender Series winner engaged in an absolute fire fight with Sam Alvey on the feet but it was a devastating left hand that nearly earned him a knockout before Marquez wrapped up a rear-naked choke that finally put his opponent to sleep. The end came at 2:07 into the second round as Marquez earned his ninth career victory with all nine coming by way of submission or knockout.
“I am blessed right now,” Marquez said after notching his second straight submission win.
