Marcos compiled a solid 5-1 record with one no contest during his UFC tenure after earning a contract through Dana White's Contender Series in September 2022. His final octagon appearance came at UFC Fight Night 264 in November, when he secured a second-round submission victory over Miles Johns. During his time with the promotion, Marcos also defeated Saimon Oliveira, Davey Grant, John Castaneda, and Adrian Yanez. Overall, the fighter boasts a 19-1 professional record with just one loss across 20 outings.
