Dorlan Mauricio Pabón Ríos (born 24 January 1988) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays for C.F. Monterrey. A forward that can play anywhere in the front line, he is known for his speed, powerful shot and dribbling skills.
Pabón has been nicknamed Memín"' (based on old Mexican comic character Memín Pinguín) by the Nacional supporters.
Pabón started his career with Envigado, where he became the top goalscorer of the 2008 Copa Colombia alongside Wilson Mena.
In 2010, Pabón moved to Colombian team Atlético Nacional. He is remembered for scoring a free-kick from 40 yards against Peñarol during a 2012 Copa Libertadores group stage game which Nacional won 4–0 away from home, with two of the goals coming from Pabón. Nacional went on to lose in the Round of 16 against Velez Sarsfield. Pabón ended the Copa Libertadores tournament with 7 goals, and being named player of the week for the tournament once, in 21–23 February.
With Nacional, Pabón also won the 2011 Liga Postobón Apertura, in which Nacional faced La Equidad, after losing the first leg 2–1, Nacional needed to win by a goal in the second leg to go into penalties. Pabón scored two goals in the away leg which ended 2–1, and scored his penalty in the shootout, which helped Nacional win its 11th National title. He has also scored a total of 50 goals in 71 games for Nacional since his arrival.
Pabón attracted interest from many European clubs, eventually joining Serie A club Parma F.C. on 27 June 2012, signing a five-year contract. His spell in Italy was not a great success, producing 1 goal in 11 games. During the January 2013 transfer window, Mexican team C.F. Monterrey announced that Pabón would be transferred the following summer to play for them.
