UFC Vegas 23 was one of the better cards as of late, with impressive performances from many fighters. However, Julian Marquez stole the show during his post-fight interview, calling out some prominent Kansas City Chiefs players for his next venture, per ESPN MMA.
Marquez finished his fight with an impressive submission and then had the opportunity to speak with Daniel Cormier, where āThe Cuban Missile Crisisā called out Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill to battle in a badminton or pickleball match.

Typically, fighters have the opportunity to call out their next opponent after they win. It's not guaranteed, but it's a cool way to see where a fighter's head is at in terms of who they want to fight. Instead, we hear Marquez challenge the Chiefs' star players to a game of badminton or pickleball. Not only was it hilarious, but a good portion of it rhymed as well. It came off so smoothly that Marquez seems he could have a WWE career.
He's solid on the mic, performs in the Octagon, and continues to climb the ranks in the middleweight division. He's sure to have gained more fans after this Chiefs callout, as fans are looking forward to his next bout.
Marquez is popularly known for his post-fight antics. After his fight in February, the UFC fighter asked star singer Miley Cyrus out on a Valentine's Day date. He keeps everyone on their toes and has created a unique way to market himself.
It's unknown who his next opponent will be as he just fought on Saturday. One thing is for sure, though, we can't wait to see Julian Marquez fight again.
