Terrance McKinney

T. Wrecks

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.

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.

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.

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.
Instant knockout victory

October 14, 2023
McKinney defeated Brendon Marotte via TKO (strikes) at 0:20 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
McKinney's one-dimensional offensive arsenal and poor gas tank are legitimate concerns, but his power and explosiveness are both exceptional, and as a result, he is going to blow through fringe-roster fighters such as Marotte like he did here. One huge knee and some follow-up strikes later, this fight was over. McKinney has won two in a row on the heels of a brief two-fight losing streak.
Set to face Marotte
