Overview
- The UFC confirmed Wednesday that Anthony Romero will step in on three days' notice to replace the injured Bernardo Sopaj against Marcus McGhee at UFC 332.
- To accommodate the late change the bout was moved from bantamweight to featherweight so both fighters can compete on short notice.
- Romero is a 7-2 pro and the Up Next Fighting (UNF) bantamweight champion making his UFC debut while McGhee is an 11-2 veteran with a 5-1 UFC record and a recent rebound win.
- The updated fight card remains headlined by Natalia Silva vs. Wang Cong for the vacant flyweight title and will air from the Delta Center on Paramount+ and CBS.
- Short‑notice swaps like this are common in MMA and can shift matchup dynamics by testing a ranked fighter against an unproven debutant and changing how both prepare for the fight.
