Having already made a name for himself in Mexico and overseas, Mexican fighter, Jose \u201cEl Teco\u201d Quinonez (8-3) is ready to have his name be more of a household one after his fight this weekend at UFC 248: Adesanya vs Romero. <\/p>\n

Taking on \u201cSugar\u201d Sean O\u2019Malley (10-0) in the Prelims main event, and being on a card featuring two title fights, Quinonez knows that more eyes will be on him and that\u2019s exactly what he wants. \u201cThe truth is that I have been waiting for this fight for ten years,\u201d said Quinonez. \u201cThat\u2019s how long I have been practicing this beautiful sport. I\u2019ve always dreamed of being part of such an important card and representing the Mexican people and all my Latinos.\u201d<\/p>

Coming off a win last September in Mexico City, Mexico, Quinonez is always happy to step up and fight in front of his hometown fans when the UFC comes to visit. \u201cFighting in Mexico City is always very special for me because I feel that I am defending my country,\u201d explained Quinonez. \u201cEvery time the UFC comes I will always be ready to battle.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Henry Cejudo sitting at the top of the bantamweight division, a win over O\u2019Malley this weekend will put Quinonez just a bit closer to his title-holding aspirations. \u201cMy intention is to reach the top of the division little by little to then be able to snatch the title from whoever has it at the time,\u201d said Quinonez. \u201cI want to be able to give the Mexican people a title.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Cejudo will be putting his title up against Jose Aldo in May, Aldo is also on Quinonez\u2019s list before the year is out. \u201cThe truth is I just want to fight the best, but since Jose Aldo has come down to the division, I would love to be able to face him. I really admire him and I know we would put on a show for all the fans,\u201d said Quinonez. But getting through O\u2019Malley this Saturday night with an attention stealing fight is first and foremost the task at hand. \u201cThis March 7th I want the whole world to see who Teco Qui\u00f1onez is and how with every fight I\u2019m improving my martial art.\u201d<\/p>\n
