Not fighting Duncan

September 20, 2023
McKinney will not fight Chris Duncan at UFC Vegas 81, according to Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Duncan withdrew from his scheduled fight against McKinney, who will need a new opponent quickly. But with UFC Vegas 81 more than three weeks away, there is a chance the promotion finds him a new opponent in time for the event. After all, McKinney's last fight was one in which he defeated Mike Breeden on nine days' notice.

McKinney is slated to face off against Chris Duncan at UFC Vegas 81 on Oct. 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinney, who recently defeated Mike Breeden to get back on track after a two-fight losing streak, will take on Chris Duncan in October. The 28-year-old fighter, who is 4-3 during his time in the UFC, will look to continue building his pedigree against Duncan.
Snaps brief losing streak
LightweightUFC
August 12, 2023
McKinney defeated Mike Breeden via TKO (punches) at 1:25 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 51 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering having lost two in a row and three of four, McKinney accepted this fight in early-August following the withdrawal of Lando Vannata (undisclosed). It ended up being a brilliant move, as McKinney overwhelmed an overmatched Breeden from the very start. McKinney looks as good as any lightweight in the company for a round or so, but his cardio is awful, and he's displayed zero ability to win fights if the early stoppage doesn't materialize. While this victory means his roster spot is secure, it really tells us nothing about the concerns regarding McKinney we had when the evening began.
Replacement fighter versus Breeden
LightweightUFC
August 3, 2023
McKinney will step in on short notice to fight Mike Breeden at UFC Vegas 78 on August 12 after Lando Vannata (undisclosed) was forced to withdraw, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinney will make the quick turnaround from his most recent loss against Nazim Sadykhov on July 15. McKinney has dropped two straight fights and three of his last four after starting off 2-0 in the UFC. His opponent hasn't had much success either, as Breeden has lost his last two bouts and hasn't fought since April 2022.
Struggles continue in Vegas
LightweightUFC
July 15, 2023
McKinney lost to Nazim Sadykhov via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:07 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
McKinney began his UFC run with back-to-back, first-round stoppage victories, but it's all fallen apart in the span of the past 16 months, with this defeat against Sadykhov being the latest back-breaker. McKinney easily won Round 1 on the heels of two takedowns and 4:12 worth of control time, but he got trapped in an exchange along the fence early in Round 2, flattened out and eventually choked out. Terrance's physical gifts aren't in question, but he's shown zero ability to fight effectively for even two full rounds, let alone all three. McKinney is 1-3 in his past four fights, with all three losses coming via stoppage.
Sadykhov fight scheduled
LightweightUFC
May 22, 2023
McKinney will fight Nazim Sadykhov in a lightweight bout at UFC Vegas 77 on July 15, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Now, McKinney has an opportunity to redeem himself after suffering a KO loss to Ismael Bonfim at UFC 283. Sadykhov earned a UFC contract through Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series less than one year ago and won his promotional debut back in February.
