Hailing from Brazil, heavyweight competitor Danilo Marques trains out of Kings MMA. He initially started his martial arts journey with taekwondo at ten years old before transitioning into mixed martial arts. Marques, who previously competed as a light heavyweight in the UFC, is highly regarded for his grappling expertise and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu foundation. Among his prominent early accomplishments is a submission victory over Mike Rodríguez using a rear-naked choke.

Entering UFC 329 with a professional record of 15-5-0, Marques has won four of his last five matchups. After securing consecutive victories against Brock McKinney, Ras Hylton, and Yorgan De Castro, he suffered a knockout loss to Marcelo Nunes. However, the Brazilian bounced back in his most recent outing, earning a unanimous decision victory over Satoshi Ishii.
