If things get worse: 7 fighters by my side during the apocalypse

MMA Junkie’s Dan Tom breaks down the list of the seven fighters he’d want by his side during the apocalypse. Who made the cut?

No. 4: Julian Marquez

Strengths: Comic relief, awesome beard, extra beef

Summary: In keeping in the spirit of balance, you’re gonna need a solid mix of comedic relief and quality characters when it comes to your survival team for the apocalypse — and that’s where UFC middleweight [autotag]Julian Marquez[/autotag] comes in.

A flexible team member, Marquez can either look right at home holding a weapon next to Frank Mir or make for a quality video game playmate to help pass the time with. And whether he’s getting creative with his workouts or interacting with strangers on social media, Marquez seems like the type of dude who doesn’t let the situations get the better of him.

If I’m being honest, I’m not sure why I put “extra beef” as one of Marquez’s strengths, but – for whatever reason – I don’t suspect he’ll disagree with it. And when the going gets rough, you’re gonna want the beefiness that’s behind that beard to have your back.
