For UFC newcomers, accepting short notice bout agreements with the promotion can either be the difference between feast or famine. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a copperhead of blinding power ready to suffocate the opposition as the UFC‘S newest battleguard of all-out blitz. A professional mixed martial artist since February 2020 and representing The MMA Lab, Marcus McGhee owns a 7-1 record over eight bouts comprised of six knockouts and one submission. McGhee fought for several organizations including Legacy Fighting Alliance prior to debuting with the UFC On ESPN Plus 81 in April 2023. He has finished all seven of his victories over the course of his career as a professional MMA fighter. McGhee is 1-0 under the UFC banner with one finish under his belt for the organization. 100 percent of McGhee’s wins during his time in the professional ranks have been inside the distance. In his MMA debut at RUF MMA 38, he faced Nick Alwag and knocked him out in the first round. McGhee also defeated Ricardo Maynez via technical knockout in round two at RUF MMA 40. Then at RUF MMA 42, McGhee knocked out Raphael Montini de Lima in the second round. He knocked out Rodney Mondala in round one at RUF MMA 47.
