At 6:15pm Et, my #1 Fight Of the Week is on Marquel Mederos. Early in the week, Mederos was a much larger favorite. The price has come down and we're now getting great line value with the superior and more experienced fighter. Mederos has an edge in UFC experience, technical striking, and defensive prowess. Mederos, with a 10-1 record, has already secured two gritty UFC victories, including a split decision over Austin Hubbard, showcasing his ability to handle seasoned opponents. His training at FactoryX Muay Thai has honed his crisp jab, distance management, and 62% striking defense, which will counter Choinski’s pressure-heavy, brawling style. While Choinski has solid wrestling and submission skills, he has yet to face competition at Mederos’ level. Mederos’ 85% takedown defense and composure under pressure should neutralize Choinski’s grappling, allowing him to dictate the fight’s tempo and secure a decision or late KO/TKO victory.
