MEXICO CITY – MarQuel Mederos wasn't totally thrilled with his performance, so a callout wasn't the first thing on his mind.

But just as he was going to officially decline a namedrop once and for all, he had a change of heart. Following his UFC on ESPN 64 win over Austin Hubbard on Saturday in Mexico City, Mederos (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) mentioned the experienced veteran Jared Gordon (20-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) as a potential next fight.

"I have some things in mind," Mederos told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a news conference after the win. "But definitely after that fight, I think I need to sit my ass down and go do some training. Then, we can talk about that later. That's my next move. Actually, you know what? F*ck it. I had Jared Gordon in mind and that's who I wanted. If they can make that happen, let's make it happen. I don't really have a date necessarily, but I'd love to have that fight."

Mederos said the callout is rooted less in what Gordon does and more in his own self-confidence. Mederos has yet to lose as a professional and thinks he has the skills to beat a crafty veteran like Gordon.

"I like a lot of things," Mederos said. "You see when you ask me about it, it puts a smile on my face. I like a lot of things. I more like the idea of what I can do, rather than what he has going on. But I love the idea of the fight, just in general."
