A 98 chin rating and a 5.67 striking score against a grappler who scores 1.33 standing — and whose only defeat came by knockout.
The style scores here do the talking. Marcus McGhee is a 5.67 striker with a 98.0 chin rating and 6.7 pressure. Benardo Sopaj is a 1.33 striker with a 5.2 grappling score, a 5.0 submission score and 3.64 wrestling. There is no ambiguity about what either man is trying to do, and the fight is a straight question of whether Sopaj can close the distance before McGhee makes him pay for trying. McGhee…
McGhee (10-2) beat John Yannis on the cards in June, his first appearance since losing a decision to former champion Petr Yan in July 2025. His 98.0 chin rating is among the best on the card and his 60% finish rate reflects stoppages of Gaston Bolanos and JP Buys. At 36 he is a decade older than his opponent.
Sopaj (13-3) submitted Timmy Cuamba in round two in May 2026 and has won two of his last three. His only recent loss was a third-round knockout by Vinicius Oliveira in March 2024 — a striking loss, against a man who kept the fight at range. His 5.0 submission and 5.2 grappling scores are the highest either fighter brings.

Sopaj's knockout loss to Vinicius Oliveira is the template McGhee will try to copy
7.7cm of reach and five centimetres of height for McGhee at bantamweight
McGhee's 1.79 wrestling score is his one soft number, and Sopaj's whole game aims at it
A ten-year age gap that the chin ratings — 98.0 to 78.0 — currently contradict
McGhee has fought three times in three years; sharpness rather than ability is the question
If Sopaj gets an early takedown, McGhee has no measured answer on the floor and Sopaj finishes half the fights he wins
