UFC 332: Marcus McGhee vs. Anthony Romero: Prediction
A decision win for McGhee over Romero is my prediction, as he’s the more diverse and dynamic striker. McGhee is a threat with his punches and kicks, plus he throws them with variety. Meanwhile, Romero is a late replacement opponent.
McGhee will also enjoy a full training camp of preparation despite the change in opponent. But McGhee should be wary of Romero’s mentality heading into the match: he has nothing to lose and everything to gain, so his aggressiveness and urgency will be apparent.
Another major factor is McGhee’s experience against other top contenders like Petr Yan and Gaston Bolanos, which will serve him well against Romero, who previously fought in regional MMA circuits.
