An addition to the UFC London: Aspinall vs. Tybura card that has seemingly gone under the radar is that of Daniel Marcos. The Peruvian fought his way to the UFC through Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) and boasts an undefeated 14-0 record.

In his UFC debut, Marcos stopped Saimon Oliveira in the second round with a brutal barrage of strikes. He hurt his opponent with a vicious knee to the body and followed up with strikes, prompting the referee to call the stoppage.

With an impressive win to kick off his UFC career, Daniel Marcos is now slated to fight UFC veteran Davey Grant. Grant pulled off one of the submissions of the year against Raphael Assuncao at UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili and is riding a two-fight win streak.
