Oh boy, have you heard the latest? Alex Morono and Court McGee are set to throw down. This welterweight clash is part of the UFC Fight Night 240 lineup. And guess where? The iconic UFC Apex in Las Vegas, baby. Mark your calendars for April 6.
So, where did this juicy tidbit come from? Marcel Dorff over at Eurosport_NL spilled the beans on Twitter. And there’s more. The event’s got a headline that’ll knock your socks off. Marvin Vettori is squaring off against Brendan Allen. Middleweight madness, am I right?
Now, let’s talk Morono. The guy’s record stands at 23-9. Not too shabby, eh? But, he’s looking to bounce back. His last fight? A unanimous decision loss to Joaquin Buckley last October. Before that, though, he snagged a Round 2 submission win over Tim Means. That was in May, last year. Feels like yesterday, doesn’t it?
On the flip side, we’ve got Court McGee. The man’s 39 and sporting a 21-12 record. But, uh-oh, he’s hit a bit of a rough patch. Two knockout losses in a row. First, Jeremiah Wells got him in June 2022. Then, Matt Brown did the deed in May 2023. Tough times. McGee’s last seven fights? A 2-5 record. Ouch.
So, there you have it. A welterweight showdown that’s sure to get the blood pumping. Vegas, April 6, UFC Fight Night 240. Be there or be square. And hey, let’s not forget the main event. Vettori vs. Allen is gonna be epic. Can’t wait!
