Marcus McGhee knows it’s going to be tough to get a top 10 name in the loaded UFC bantamweight division, so he’s willing to take a slight step down.
McGhee (10-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has opened his octagon tenure strong with four consecutive wins over solid competition. That has landed him a spot just inside the top 15 of the UFC’s official rankings, and as he looks forward to his 2025 plans, McGhee has set his sights on a matchup with the streaking Aiemann Zahabi.
“Me and Aiemann were already matched up,” McGhee told MMA Junkie Radio. He’s No. 13, I’m No. 14. I feel like that’s a good fight to make. That’s the first one that comes off the top of my head. We never got to clash still, so I wouldn’t mind clashing with him. I feel like there’s some things that need to work their way out in the top, and I’m fine with fighting in the 10-15 department. That’s a name that jumps off to me that I’ve already said yes too, that I would be willing to say yes again.”
