Julian Marquez was certainly all hyped up as he won the fight bonus and also got to ask out Miley Cyrus for Valentine’s day. But few of his fans and followers weren’t as happy or hyped as the 185 pounder was. But Marquez has a response for them.

He said, “it didn’t matter if I shaved my chest or didn’t matter if I did, there are always going to be bad comments and that’s how it is. The thing is that it’s me being me. I responded she responded to me.”

The middleweight prospect started off his UFC career in Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 4 on August 1, 2017. He’s had three fights with UFC after he caught Dana’s attention, in which he won two and lost one bout.

Julian stepped back to go through the entire training camp and re-sculpt his body to become an all-around athlete again. After his loss against Alessio Di Chirico in 2018, he had an injury that took him off the Octagon for quite a long time. Marquez returned on UFC 258 and put on an exceptional show against ‘Coconut Bombz’. He made a perfect comeback statement and is looking forward to showing up in the octagon more often.
