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.
What are your thoughts on McKinney? Do you agree with his tweet?
