Cristian Quinonez says brother, first UFC loss were motivation for UFC Mexico

BAD MMA News — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 22:19:15 +0000

MEXICO CITY – Cristian Quinonez has a rebound on his mind, and what better place to do it than in front of a friendly crowd? Eight months ago, Quinonez had a five-fight winning streak snapped when Kyung Ho Kang tapped him with a rear-naked choke. It was a reality check for the Mexican fighter, who got his first look at the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series. Quinonez (18-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) said the loss made him take a closer look at things, and he hopes the adjustments have him ready for another tough bantamweight test when he takes on Raoni Barcelos (17-75 MMA, 6-4 UFC) on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 237 (ESPN+) at Mexico City Arena.
