Jonathan Martinez to Meet Marcus McGhee at UFC 309 on Nov. 16

A matchup of intriguing bantamweight talents has been added to UFC 309 .

Jonathan Martinez (19-5) is set to trade leather against Marcus McGhee (9-1) at UFC 309 on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The matchup was first announced by Iridium Sports Agency, which represents both fighters.

The 30-year-old Martinez has racked up a 10-4 record thus far during his UFC career. “Dragon” has bested the likes of Adrian Yanez , Said Nurmagomedov , Cub Swanson and Vince Morales while being finished only once in his entire career — by Davey Grant in 2021. Martinez comes off a unanimous decision loss against Jose Aldo at UFC 301 in May that saw a six-fight winning streak snapped.

Meanwhile, McGhee has scored highlight-reel finishes in all three of his UFC outings so far, earning $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses on every occasion. “The Maniac,” who hasn’t gone the distance in his entire career, is coming off a third-round stoppage of Gaston Bolanos at UFC Fight Night 234 on Jan. 13.
