We have you covered for all of tonight's UFC Vegas 103 results, including the co-main event between Julian Marquez and Cody Brundage.

Winless in his most recent two performances prior to Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 253 and on the last fight of his contract, Brundage (11-6 MMA, 5-5 UFC) had a lot on the line facing Julian Marquez in the co-main event of the card. A loss to Marquez (9-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC) could’ve prompted his exit from the UFC, upping the pressure.

A middleweight bout between Cody Brundage and Julian Marquez will serve as the co-main event for UFC Vegas 103 later this evening (March 1) at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Both Brundage and Marquez indeed have durability issues, but Marquez’s chin has been cracked repeatedly to the point that any clean shot will likely end his night. Brundage has shown that while he lacks defensive awareness, he can close the distance and make good use of his heavy hands and wrestling.
