The news was first reported by Eurosport_NL’s Marcel Dorff on social media. UFC Fight Night 240 will be headlined by a middleweight clash pitting Marvin Vettori against Brendan Allen.
Morono (23-9) will return to the Octagon coming off a unanimous decision loss to Joaquin Buckley in October. Prior to that, “The Great White” recorded a Round 2 submission win over Tim Means in May last year.
Meanwhile, the 39-year-old McGee (21-12) is currently on a two-fight losing streak having suffered back-to-back Round 1 knockout losses against Jeremiah Wells in June 2022 and Matt Brown in May 2023. “The Crusher” has gone 2-5 in his last seven promotional outings.
