Fights to UFC 327 draw
Mederos and Chris Padilla fought to a majority draw (27-29, 28-28, 28-28) at UFC 327 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
This was about the weirdest set of circumstances you will ever see. It was announced as a majority decision win for Padilla originally. Perhaps an hour later, the result was corrected. It sure felt as if Mederos dropped a unanimous decision, but two judges actually scored the fight for him, and he somehow would have won had he not been docked a point in Round 3 for repeated eye pokes. Mederos not only will walk away with the draw, but he'll walk away with 20 percent of Padilla's purse after the latter missed weight by two pounds Friday morning. The 29-year-old Texan remains unbeaten (3-0-1) in his first four UFC fights.

Takes decision in Jersey opener
Mederos defeated Mark Choinski via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Mederos was scheduled to face Bolaji Oki a week ago before withdrawing due to illness. He was quite fortunate to fight a follow-up fight so quickly, especially one against a weaker, debuting opponent. Blessed with a huge advantage on the feet in terms of speed and fluidity, Mederos just kept moving and picked Choinski apart, primarily with leg kicks. He faded a bit down the stretch, but the result was never in doubt. The 28-year-old Texan is now a perfect 3-0 in the UFC, although all three wins have come via decision.
