Romero Brings Finishing Record Into UFC Debut
McGhee returned to the win column in June with a unanimous decision over John Yannis at UFC Vegas 118. The 11-2 fighter took his first promotional loss against current bantamweight champion Petr Yan in Abu Dhabi earlier this year. He owns a 5-1 record inside the Octagon with three finishes.
Romero enters on a two-fight streak and stopped former LFA standout Yuma Horiuchi in 25 seconds in his last outing. The 7-2 California fighter trains at Black House MMA and has finished six of seven wins — four by knockout, two by submission.
