In a last-minute addition to the UFC Vegas 72 card, Marcus McGhee made his debut in an exciting catchweight bout against Journey Newson. McGhee, who had most recently competed for LFA in January, stepped up to the plate on short notice after Brian Kelleher was forced off the card.
From the get-go, McGhee put on the pressure and came out swinging with high kicks and a jumping knee attempt. Although Newson managed to catch the knee and shrug off the danger.
McGhee continued to push forward with dangerous power punches that landed on Newson’s dome. McGhee’s forward pressure seemed to cause issues for Newson throughout the round, and he ultimately won his first round in the UFC.

In the second round, Newson attempted to take control by putting on forward pressure and landing the first shot, but McGhee did an excellent job reading Newson’s attempts. With just over a minute and a half into the round, McGhee stuffed a Newson takedown, landed a quick left hand, and dropped him to the mat. The debutant quickly secured the dominant back control and locked in a RNC, forcing Newson to tap out.
He managed to get a $50,000 bonus for the performance.
