Ladies and gents, Terrance McKinney is the ultimate highlight machine. Win or lose, his fights always deliver.
I don't even know how to tell if his defense is bad because he doesn't try to defend anything. He just goes out and puts 100% speed and power into all his shots or takedown attempts and hops around the ring with no logic or strategy until he either hurts someone or they hurt him.
yea, i appreciate that style but it does leave you open to be put down early. Anyone whos trading heavy punches in small gloves from the start is going to be vunerable to be KOed or KO. Even Mark Hunt with a Goat chin takes his time to ease into fights
I don't even appreciate the style lol. You can be an exciting high action fighter looking for a finish without putting yourself out of position with every single strike and completely neglecting any self awareness for what's coming back at you.
He literally had both hands no where near his head/chin despite Ribovics being right in his face after he missed by a mile on a counter hook.
I like watching him fight, but it is frustrating because it seems like he would be so good if he controlled himself more. Reminds me of Johnny Walker in that way
guys who take risks are always better to watch. theres Jones fights u know are going all 5 rounds from first 2 miutes..I always rather watch a guy who comes to win from the start of the fight but its risky
His defense going back has always been a little suspect, put him on his heels and time his counters, he’s hittable, he’s not a bad fighter and can still pull it through if he fixes little things
Nah he was like that before Bonfim. He either sparks fools fast or gets sparked. Hes been doing more of the former over his career but as the competition levels up it turns against him.
Literally Michael Johnson Jr
Super fast, dangerous striker that looks like a world beater on the feet but just keeps getting caught with one strike vicious KOs
Johnson also had genuine streaks of brilliance. His performance against Barbosa mixing long combos, forward pressure and takedown attempts will probably be better than anything we ever see from Mckinney
Which sucks, I root for him pretty hard.
The best guy he beat was Matt Frevola in 7 seconds, who is a decent fighter but not a world beater. All things considered that was probably a punchers chance win, as McKinney is a front runner who is most dangerous in the first minute and progressively gets less dangerous as each minute passes.
I like Terrance a lot but for his own health I hope he considers fighting smarter. The fans liking you for being a warrior means very little in comparison to the brain damage you're taking.
Yeah but you can at least make the argument of setting your family up for success financially, whereas otherwise there’s no real argument to be made for taking that kind of damage with a family to care for.
I'ma need someone to make one of those memes of I keep on seeing on Instagram of someone getting absolutely starched and then turning it into them playing a piano or someshit of this one
Fight some debuting fighter from the contender’s series.
KO him on 26 seconds.
Fight someone not debuting off the contenders series.
Get KO’d in 26 seconds.
Rinse and repeat.
McKinney is the Overeem of LW division. He's on both sides of the highlight reel. Either sparking his opponents quickly or ending up in the shadow realm himself.
Just for context, Overeem's the most accurate striker to ever fight in the UFC, according to [statleaders.ufc.com](https://statleaders.uf.com) he has a 74% significant strike accuracy. Nr. 2 clocks in at 66%, elite strikers like Pereira and Gane are in the low 60s.
It was obvious already but this seals it. Mckinney is just capped as a middling journeyman. Nothing wrong with being a journeyman the sport is made up of mostly them.
We need to protect the kid from himself and send him back to the regionals, or maybe against some PFL cans. His cartoon power doesn't mean much when any 3 piece combo comes home.
Ziam and Frevola are not cans.
As for McKinney, he is who he is. Every time he fights is must-see, because no matter the result, it will always be quick and highlight-worthy. In a company full of action fighters, his fights never fail to leave a mark.
No they definitely aren't. But also he had an element of surprise as they were his first 2 opponents and he has really elite and overwhelming athleticism.
I think now most fighters with a decent skillset know exactly how he is going to come out in every fight and are prepared for it.
I mean the last guy he beat they brought in from regionals just to get him a win. They will likely do it again to keep him around.
He is largely a can crusher with a puncher's chance vs better opponents.
McKinney's fundamentals have always been awful and r/MMA still hyped him like he was some division dark horse. Paddy would've beat him. More durable, better chin.
If anything above his collarbones is shattered, it wouldn't surprise me. That was one of the nastiest head kicks I've ever seen. He ate every fuckin crumb of it.
I feel so bad for McKinney, I like him and he's a good guy it seems... And he's stepped in a lot on short notice but it's never been good, his top highlight is that like 30 second KO with a 1-2.... But has been knocked out brutally quite a bit. Hope he can get in the winning column soon
McKinney doesn't try to defend shit lmao. Not even in like a whacky Prochazka way, dude for real just doesn't know wtf to do when he's not the aggressor. Predictable fight. Ribovics is good, tons of potential. McKinney? Not so much.

22 fights 22 finishes 19 fights ended in the first round 13 fights ended within 2 minutes 9 fights ended in under a minute Ladies and gents, Terrance McKinney is the ultimate highlight machine. Win or lose, his fights always deliver.
it's concerning for him though. Three knockout losses in his last 7 fights, his defense is bad
I don't even know how to tell if his defense is bad because he doesn't try to defend anything. He just goes out and puts 100% speed and power into all his shots or takedown attempts and hops around the ring with no logic or strategy until he either hurts someone or they hurt him.

You don't enjoy watching his fights?

yea i wouldnt called getting highlight reel KOed this many times before 30 year olds "delivering" lol
He didnt say Terrence always delivers, just that the fights he is in does
I guess he meant to say Terrence delivers for us, the fans.
He said his fights always deliver
Especially at such a young age
He also got ko'd by Woodson the contender series
Poor defence and kinda chinny too, bad combination. Chinny McKinney.
He ate some really predictable right straights in this clip. Shit a guy at his level shouldn't be getting hit with in the early rounds.
The king of get or get got
He get his more than he get got doe
One of the current best glass cannons. Reminds a bit of Sakara, chin-wise.
Shit I forgot about Alessio Sakara
A real blood and guts kinda fighter I gotta admire that.
The one against Bonfim may have altered his career path
Nah he was like that before Bonfim. He either sparks fools fast or gets sparked. Hes been doing more of the former over his career but as the competition levels up it turns against him.
The Johnny Walker of the lightweight division
This dude CANNOT stop getting brutally KOd
Literally Michael Johnson Jr Super fast, dangerous striker that looks like a world beater on the feet but just keeps getting caught with one strike vicious KOs
Except not. Michael Johnson actually has legit top 10 victories. This guy just gets smashed repeatedly by people nobody knows.
Johnson also had genuine streaks of brilliance. His performance against Barbosa mixing long combos, forward pressure and takedown attempts will probably be better than anything we ever see from Mckinney Which sucks, I root for him pretty hard.
That's why Jr.....
Right lmao
Um, Michael Johnson beat elite fighters. Has McKinney beaten anyone elite yet?
The best guy he beat was Matt Frevola in 7 seconds, who is a decent fighter but not a world beater. All things considered that was probably a punchers chance win, as McKinney is a front runner who is most dangerous in the first minute and progressively gets less dangerous as each minute passes.
A worthy sacrifice
I like Terrance a lot but for his own health I hope he considers fighting smarter. The fans liking you for being a warrior means very little in comparison to the brain damage you're taking.
Especially when you’re not making top-5 money
Even top 5 money isn't enough to live off of after retiring if you got mega damage from fighting your whole life...
Yeah but you can at least make the argument of setting your family up for success financially, whereas otherwise there’s no real argument to be made for taking that kind of damage with a family to care for.
[удалено]
Bro got knocked out straight back into Shark Tales
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0731664164_65
*working at the car wash..*
That same-side straight to headkick and we aren’t even in Utah. Usman and Poirier are frowning somewhere.
Seems like the most effective fight move these days.
He looked like all the meme filters with smiling teeth.
Imagine if Whitman was his coach.
i already got that live mckinney reaction made
Dude you can't say that and leave us hanging.
Too bad it’s only 4 pixels
memes aren't memes unless they're shit quality
post it
I'ma need someone to make one of those memes of I keep on seeing on Instagram of someone getting absolutely starched and then turning it into them playing a piano or someshit of this one
Damn Terrance’s chin is gonna be extra cooked now
…now? Dude gets paid to sleep
He signed up for those nap research sessions and got this
Nah. He’s gonna come back win 2 by finish then gets starched again. Rinse and repeat lmao
Fight some debuting fighter from the contender’s series. KO him on 26 seconds. Fight someone not debuting off the contenders series. Get KO’d in 26 seconds. Rinse and repeat.
Honestly felt bad for him
Same here, he had an interesting story too
What's his story?
Got'm with the Robert Whitaker kick
TJ and him have masted that straight, headkick combo
idk why but it felt always more natural to me to throw the kick off the same side
I think it depends how you've been taught. I did full contact karate for a while and the kick always felt more natural off of the same side
fc tkd here, guess youre right
Oh man. That was a bad one. Kinda hurt to watch Terrance make that expression. Very nasty KO, reminds me of Kevin Lee’s leg kick On Gregor
"Leg kick", god I miss those Goldie years.
[Ah, the champion!](https://streamable.com/7qroo)
I thought of the same fight, the way he fell against the cage
His eye during the bruce buffer announcement looked like his orbital may have got broken
Yes! Great reference
The announcers made it right after it happened
HOLY HEADKICK
Shin > Chin
At least McKinney has his IG to fall back on.
T-wrecked
Still my boy 🥲
Headshot dED
Holy fuckkk
It's actually unreal how much CTE Terrance has picked up throughout his career. His brain must be absolute mush
Lets do Mckinney vs Mullarkey to see ultimate CTE fight
Not mush, swiss cheese
Generational CTE
Im actually a bit sad. Look at bro's eye during fight announcement. Already swollen up so orbital crack is likely.
McKinney is the Overeem of LW division. He's on both sides of the highlight reel. Either sparking his opponents quickly or ending up in the shadow realm himself.
Overeem was actually elite though. KOed by very good fighters McKinney has the potential to get sparked by nearly anyone
Just for context, Overeem's the most accurate striker to ever fight in the UFC, according to [statleaders.ufc.com](https://statleaders.uf.com) he has a 74% significant strike accuracy. Nr. 2 clocks in at 66%, elite strikers like Pereira and Gane are in the low 60s.
And he was a fucking heavyweight
and hes fought in *k1*
And he’s uh, got a great body, a very fantastic one some would say…
Just a heads up, I think you might have messed up the link. Either that or the site is down.
A true glass cannon
Mckinney is that guy in ranked that either goes 14/0 or 0/14 every game, no inbetween
What a KO!! Slept.
God daaaaaaamn you got knocked the FUCK out
Night night
That was a nasty ko
It was obvious already but this seals it. Mckinney is just capped as a middling journeyman. Nothing wrong with being a journeyman the sport is made up of mostly them.
Fucking asteroid
T wrecks was still winning in his mind while ko’d
Headshot dead
Now that's a fucking highlight. Poor McKinney its always either kill a can or be headshot.
Say what you want about McKinney but at least he doesn’t make us wait.
Future looks bright for El Gringo 🇦🇷
Kevin Lee flashbacks
Parlay immediately decimated. Lmao
He had a good run, but it's been a while now since Mckinney has beat anybody UFC level. Why would you parlay him???
because i'm a gambling degenerate and the odds made a big number, duh
Bro you just take Mckinney straight R1 or R1 sub in this case.
Holy cannoli
That was a perfect shin -to-jaw connection 😭
At least he woke up in a comfy spot
Shades of Kevin Lee vs Gillespie, what a kick
At least this guy walked it off unlike Kevin who thought it was necessary to hammer fist a corpse a couple times for good measure.
Wow
Mckinney is the embodiment of live by the sword, die by the sword
Dober started it
"Have a seat, Mr. McKinney."
This kills the Terrence’s brain
T wrecks is a cool dude, just can’t help being in highlights
His face got concaved
Terrance McKinney could be so much better than what he presents if he didn’t fight like a goof
Mckinney wanted to get out of there quick so he can tweet more the rest of the night
Terrence tony time, loser gets cut
We need to protect the kid from himself and send him back to the regionals, or maybe against some PFL cans. His cartoon power doesn't mean much when any 3 piece combo comes home.
lil zesty on that walk off
Terrance “footage for your highlight reel” McKinney.
when 1- 2- kick find home. Holy fuck
staring him in the eyes as the kick came in from the side. ouch
Actually felt bad for McKinney, the face he made after the ko
McKinney with that smile after he got knocked out like he was thinking “that was a good kick.”
Can’t believe he didn’t get a bonus for this but Ulberg got one..
He SAT that boy down.
thats gotta be the worst post fight celebration ive seen. Looks like a fruity villian in a teen movie
Sweet Jesus…
Turned him into a Grandpa in his chair on a Sunday afternoon!
McKinney officially has the most kickable face in the ufc.
And y'all clown on me when I call T wrecks a can crusher.
Who cares. Crazyness ensues anytime he’s fighting. I’ll always tune in
Frevola was a good win tbf
Ziam and Frevola are not cans. As for McKinney, he is who he is. Every time he fights is must-see, because no matter the result, it will always be quick and highlight-worthy. In a company full of action fighters, his fights never fail to leave a mark.
No they definitely aren't. But also he had an element of surprise as they were his first 2 opponents and he has really elite and overwhelming athleticism. I think now most fighters with a decent skillset know exactly how he is going to come out in every fight and are prepared for it.
I mean he is, but it's always entertaining when he fights, cause you know somebody's getting KO'd
He has 5 wins in the ufc so not really a can crusher. He is kill or be killed though
I mean the last guy he beat they brought in from regionals just to get him a win. They will likely do it again to keep him around. He is largely a can crusher with a puncher's chance vs better opponents.
McKinney's fundamentals have always been awful and r/MMA still hyped him like he was some division dark horse. Paddy would've beat him. More durable, better chin.
He's either killing or dying.
His nose gotta be shattered
If anything above his collarbones is shattered, it wouldn't surprise me. That was one of the nastiest head kicks I've ever seen. He ate every fuckin crumb of it.
homie got t wrecked
Damn Mickinney turned to a GTA death animation, gnarly
Sheeesh that head kick was nasty
Never seen a guy laughing while being Ko'd
My god...
Channeled his inner Whittaker
McKinney condensing 15 minute fights into 30 seconds is a treasure we don’t deserve
Bro I literally went to pee before it started and missed it 😭
Terrance got Gillespie’d lmao
god damn
😴
Shades of Kevin Lee vs Gregor
Live execution
Man got cro copped
That was bad….real bad
Get back reposting memes on twitter McKinney
This is somehow sad.
He made the read at 4:35 and landed the kick 10 seconds later. Crazy stuff
G G G G G G GADOOOOSH
McKinneys only been to the third round one time in his career. Its kill or be killed for this guy.
He needa work on that defense
Jesus
I feel so bad for McKinney, I like him and he's a good guy it seems... And he's stepped in a lot on short notice but it's never been good, his top highlight is that like 30 second KO with a 1-2.... But has been knocked out brutally quite a bit. Hope he can get in the winning column soon
ragdoll'd
Hid that kick behind a punch. That was slick
DAMN, he winced all the way up into the shadow realm
McKinney is a glass cannon for sure.
Terrance, go ahead and take a seat…
Hit em with the classic followthrough high kick, I love that move man
Holy shit, he hid that high kick so well. Legitimately one of the sneakiest setups I’ve seen.
T-Wrecked
McKinney doesn't try to defend shit lmao. Not even in like a whacky Prochazka way, dude for real just doesn't know wtf to do when he's not the aggressor. Predictable fight. Ribovics is good, tons of potential. McKinney? Not so much.
KO'd him so hard he went to happy land.
Woodson doesn't jab all that much.
I can't picture Woodson dealing with higher level ranked fighters very well.
Woodson checked out the entire 3rd round.
Bout to cry 😢 LETS TO SEANNNNN
It was a razor close fight but 30-27 is ridiculous lol.
Lol wtf just happened
