McGhee Moves Up After June Win
McGhee returned to the win column in June with a unanimous decision over John Yannis, bouncing back from his first UFC loss to Petr Yan. The 11-2 fighter now stands 5-1 inside the octagon and ranks 15th at bantamweight in MMA Fighting's global rankings.
Romero carries a 7-2 record with one no-contest and has spent most of his career with Up Next Fighting in Los Angeles. His last outing saw him defend the UNF bantamweight title with a first-round knockout of Yuma Horiuchi.
