The green percentage is the Polymarket prediction market; the amber line is the sportsbook moneyline. They price the same fight two different ways.

Odds are based on bookmaker betting lines and reflect an average value, and they can move at any time. AgentMMA is not a bookmaker and takes no bets.

Mason Jones just banked a $100K Fight of the Night bonus against Axel Sola back in March, and now he's looking to keep that momentum rolling against MarQuel Mederos in Sacramento. Jones earned that bonus the hard way, landing 123 strikes in a decision win that showed he's still got that Welsh fire. Mederos is riding his own hot streak though, coming off three straight wins including a unanimous decision over Mark Choinski last June where he landed 115 strikes at a nasty 68% clip. Here's the thing about this matchup. Both guys are orthodox strikers who love to let their hands go, but they get there differently.

Key Storylines
  • Jones riding $100K bonus momentum into crucial lightweight test
  • Mederos' volume striking versus Jones' finishing power
  • Both coming off strong performances looking to crack top 15
Finishing Window

If Jones is gonna get the finish, it happens in round two when his power shots start landing clean.

Jones showed against Bolaji Oki in Paris that he can finish fights violently, dropping elbows from mount for a second round TKO. Mederos is more of a volume guy who breaks you down over three rounds. That fight with Austin Hubbard in Mexico City? He landed 57 of 81 strikes at 70% accuracy and controlled the pace for 93 seconds. The big question is whether Jones can recapture that finishing instinct or if Mederos' pressure game forces another decision.

Jones has that one loss to Ludovit Klein back in 2022, but he's looked sharp since returning to the UFC. Mederos had that majority draw with Chris Padilla at UFC 327, which snapped his win streak but showed he can hang in close fights. Both guys train at legit camps, MMA Lab versus Pedro Bessa BJJ, so the preparation is there.
