T. Wrecks

Instant submission win at UFC 317
LightweightUFC
June 28, 2025
McKinney defeated Slava Borshchev via submission (guillotine choke) at 0:55 of Round 1 at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
McKinney is the most dangerous one-round fighter in the company. After that, it gets dicey, but if he's able to get you out of there immediately like he did here against Borshchev, it's a joy to watch. Knowing full well Slava can't wrestle a lick, McKinney sprinted across the octagon, landed an immediate takedown, and quickly set about trying to submit his opponent. Borshchev fought it hard, but it was over 55 seconds in. McKinney has won four of five dating back to August 2023, with all four wins coming via first-round stoppage. None of the four lasted longer than 2:01.

Next fight scheduled
LightweightUFC
May 26, 2025
McKinney is scheduled to compete against fellow lightweight Slava Borshchev at UFC 317 in Paradise on June 28, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
McKinney began his 2025 strong with a first-round TKO of Damir Hadzovic in Saudi Arabia. A week after the finish, Borshchev lost to Tom Nolan, meaning T. Wrecks at least has momentum on his side.
Another instant victory
LightweightUFC
February 1, 2025
McKinney defeated Damir Hadzovic via TKO (punches) at 2:01 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
If you've seen one McKinney fight, you've seen them all. They almost always result in either an instant knockout victory or a disappointing stoppage loss. This was the former, which isn't a surprise given Terrance was the biggest favorite on the card at -600. He grabbed a guillotine following a Hadzovic takedown attempt and managed to roll his way into full mount. A few brutal blows later, the fight was over. Now 6-4 in his first 10 UFC bouts, McKinney isn't a legitimate contender because of his non-existent gas tank, but he's sure capable of fun, standout performances such as this one.
Hadzovic up next

November 26, 2024
McKinney is scheduled to compete against Damir Hadzovic in a lightweight fight at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
McKinney will look to make 2025 a redemptive year after his brutal 2024. He logged only one fight then but suffered a head-kick knockout just one round into his bout with Esteban Ribovics.
Brutally finished in St. Louis
LightweightUFC
May 11, 2024
McKinney lost to Esteban Ribovics via KO (head kick) at 0:37 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in St. Louis.
ANALYSIS
McKinney has picked up countless instant knockout victories over the years and was given a taste of his own medicine here against Ribovics. A beautifully placed head kick dropped Terrance in an instant, and it was clear the fight was immediately over. Five of McKinney's seven career defeats have come via knockout. While "T.Wrecks" is a lot of fun to watch, it hasn't resulted in consistent success inside the Octagon. McKinney is just 3-4 in his past seven bouts dating back to March 2022.
Ribovics up next
LightweightUFC
February 12, 2024
McKinney is scheduled to compete against Esteban Ribovics at the UFC's May 11 event, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
McKinney will look to establish a new winning streak by defeating Ribovics. He ended a previous losing streak by defeating Brendon Marotte in 20 seconds at UFC Vegas 81 back in October.
