Obliterated by Jailton Almeida
Marques lost to Jailton Almeida via TKO (punches) at 2:57 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Marques never had a shot in what was one of the most lopsided three-minute fights you will ever see. He found himself on his back just moments after the opening bell rang and it only got worse from there. Marques was credited with just two total strikes landed compared to 37 from his opponent. Almeida is a real problem and is going to give a bunch of guys issues over the course of his UFC run, but this setback puts Marques in must-win territory his next time out. He has now suffered back-to-back knockout losses on the heels of a pair of victories to begin his UFC run. The 36-year-old Brazilian is out of runway.

The second round was much closer, with Marques earning another takedown and 2:47 of control time, but also losing the battle of significant strikes 16 to 9.
