Set to fight Mederos

ANALYSIS
After dropping his UFC debut against Nasrat Haqparast in September, Quinones will face an opponent who will be making his own debut. Dropping to 0-2 could prompt questions about Quinones' future with the UFC, so he will surely be motivated to secure his first win versus a new fighter.

Strong showing in debut loss
Quinones lost to Nasrat Haqparast via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 293 on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Just a couple months ago, Quinones was losing to Jason Knight in the opening round of the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter. He got a chance to make his official company debut here as a +380 underdog and appeared much improved despite the setback. Landon absorbed far too much damage from Haqparast throughout the course of the bout, but also landed plenty of effective leg kicks that left his opponent hobbled. His toughness was also on display throughout the duration of the fight. All things considered, it was an encouraging performance and one that should ensure Quinones gets a second opportunity with the UFC.

Set for debut at UFC 293
Quinones is in line to make his UFC debut in a lightweight matchup at UFC 293 on Sept. 9 in Sydney, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Fight fans may be a bit familiar with Quinones, as he competed for Team Chandler in the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter, where he lost to Jason Knight in the opening round of the tournament. Prior to that, he had competed under the banner of Titan FC, where he's riding a five-fight winning streak with four stoppage victories. He also recently won a grappling match with the same promotion. He'll likely enter as a heavy underdog for this short-notice opportunity, as Haqparast is a UFC vet who has already faced multiple ranked fighters in the division.
