Marcus McGhee VS John Yannis

Marcus McGhee defeated John Yannis by unanimous decision in a bantamweight preliminary bout at UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs. Bonfim on June 6, 2026 in Las Vegas. Two judges scored it 30-27, the third 29-28, all in McGhee's favor. McGhee controlled the opening round by switching stances and mixing his attacks, preventing Yannis from finding a consistent rhythm. Yannis improved his timing and made round two more competitive, but McGhee answered with the more active output down the stretch and closed out the third to secure the nod. The win ended an 11-month layoff for McGhee and came against Yannis, a late injury replacement who had entered off his first UFC victory in April.

Marcus McGhee, a finishing-heavy striker out of The MMA Lab with eight career knockouts, looks to rebound after a decision loss to former champion Petr Yan as he faces late replacement John Yannis — a pocket boxer who secured his second UFC win via first-round TKO just weeks before this booking. The contrast between McGhee's KO power and Yannis's durability-first, attrition-based style sets up an entertaining bantamweight scrap with real divisional momentum on the line for whoever emerges.
