The matchup is off

Benardo Sopaj withdrew from the October 3 bout, so this is no longer an upcoming fight. Marcus McGhee is still scheduled to compete on the card against a replacement opponent.

Withdrawal details remain unclear

Sopaj’s withdrawal was reported as being for an undisclosed reason; no specific injury has been confirmed in the available report. His return timeline is also uncertain.

McGhee’s form before the change

Before the cancellation, McGhee was coming off a unanimous-decision win in June. He entered the originally scheduled matchup with a 5-1 UFC record.

Sopaj had momentum going in

Sopaj had won two straight fights before withdrawing, including victories over Ricky Turcios and Timmy Cuamba. That momentum is relevant to the original matchup only; it does not make the canceled bout actionable.

Pass on the canceled matchup

Do not place a new wager on Sopaj vs. McGhee: the bout has been withdrawn and the matchup is no longer taking place.
