UFC lightweight contender recently ignited a debate on social media between boxing and MMA fans by tweeting two words. Subsequently, many fans left their opinions in the comments section. 

Two genres of combat sports are always in the discussion regarding their popularity and monetary factor. However, MMA and boxing both have their own pros and cons. But fans still debate and back their favorite genre.

Recently a surging UFC lightweight prospect, Terrance Mckinney sparked a similar feud by stating that MMA is bigger than boxing on his official Twitter account. After that, fans couldn’t stop themselves from expressing their opinion on the same.

 

McKinney tweeted, “MMA>Boxing.” Some fans agreed with the UFC fighter, while there were who many disagreed. Check out some of the reactions from the fans below.

Terrance McKinney in the UFC

The 13-4 professional record holder is a product of the Dana White Contender Series. He made his UFC debut with a stunning first-round knockout victory in 2021.

The 28-years-old has since competed in four UFC bouts, losing only one. All three of his victories came via an amazing finish in the very first round of the bout. Apart from stunning fighting skills, ‘T-Wrecks’ has a charismatic personality, which brought him into the eyes of the fans.

Not only that, but the Washington-born fighter also impressed the UFC veteran commentator Joe Rogan. In one of the episodes of his podcast, the 55-year-old MMA enthusiast talked highly about McKinney and also dubbed him the next greatest.

That said, ‘T-Wrecks’ potentially has a bright future in the promotion. However, he needs to carry on the same momentum in the future. For now, the 28-year-old is waiting for his next bout to be anno0ced by the UFC.
