TAMPA, Fla. – Daniel Marcos sees his return at UFC on ESPN 63 as an opportunity to punch his ticket into the UFC official bantamweight rankings.
“Soncora,” an undefeated fighter from Peru, takes on Adrian Yanez – arguably the biggest name he’s ever faced in his career. This key bantamweight bout goes down on the main card of UFC Tampa. Marcos (16-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) recognizes Yanez (17-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is a skilled rival, but he expects to put him away in impressive fashion and prove he’s among the elite at 135 pounds.
“He’s a very tough rival,” Marcos told MMA Junkie in Spanish. “Once you get close to the top 15, and you’re in the top 20 of the division, all the opponents are tough. However, I’ve trained so hard spiritually and physically that he has no chance against me.
