Terrance McKinney
T. Wrecks
USA
Finished after fast start
McKinney lost to King Green via TKO (punches) at 4:59 of Round 1 at UFC 329 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This result will keep McKinney up for days, if not weeks. A notoriously quick starter with one of the most questionable gas tanks in the sport, Terrance dominated Green the first four-plus minutes, battering him on feet and dominating him on the mat. The fight looked all set to enter Round 2, at which point McKinney ate a huge shot to the liver which dropped him with about ten seconds left in the frame. Green added some unanswered follow-up shots and referee Kerry Hatley pulled the plug with a second to go. It was a perfectly justified stoppage. As entertaining as McKinney is, he's impossible to trust on a fight-by-fight basis. The inconsistency will continue moving forward.

Another instant stoppage win
McKinney defeated Kyle Nelson via TKO (strikes) at 0:24 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
McKinney continues to earn instant stoppage victories despite the fact the entire world knows he has about two minutes worth of cardio. He hits supremely hard, as Nelson found out here. McKinney cracked his opponent 10 seconds in despite the fact Nelson got his arm up to seemingly deflect the blow. About 15 seconds after that, he was done for good. Each of McKinney's last seven fights have ended in Round 1. He's 5-2 in that span, with all five wins coming via stoppage (four knockouts, one submission). The 31-year-old Spokane native is quite possibly the most entertaining fighter on the UFC roster, though stellar main and co-main event finishes ultimately robbed him of a well-deserved large bonus this evening.

ANALYSIS
2025 was a mixed year for McKinney, who went 2-1. He finished both Damir Hadzovic and Slava Borshchev in under three minutes to begin the year 2-0. However, McKinney is looking to bounce back after Chris Duncan choked the former out at UFC 323.

Taps out after fast start
McKinney lost to Chris Duncan via submission (anaconda choke) at 2:30 of Round 1 at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's not that McKinney doesn't care about winning or losing -- he surely does -- but the bottom line is that he's going to come out and fight his style of regardless of opponent and let the chips fall where they may. He blitzed Duncan right off the hop here, as always, but was unable to get him out of there. The one-way traffic eventually started to turn, and McKinney found himself eating dozens of unanswered strikes to the side of the head. Referee Marc Goddard refused to stop the fight for some reason, so Duncan switched to the choke. That did the trick. Each of McKinney's last six fights have ended in Round 1. He's 4-2 during that stretch.
