Insider info
Marcus McGhee favored over John Yannis clear UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs Bonfim · May 30, 2026
Picked clearly as a big favorite, with the analyst saying he feels good about the matchup especially if the grappling comes into play.
Good striker coming off a competitive loss to the reigning champion, not a true knock given the level of opposition. Good forward pressure, good combinations, quick hands, and real power, mixing in more variety (kicks, etc.) than a pure boxer would. Solid grappler, historically used more defensively at the UFC level so far -- good takedown defense, gets back to his feet well, and really good sweeps and scrambles -- but can grapple offensively too, even if it hasn't been shown much yet at this level; the analyst expects a clear advantage if he chooses to use it here.
