Terrance McKinney’s recent battle has been a phenomenon and topic of conversation among UFC Pundits and Fighters. Terrance McKinney won UFC 263 with just two punches and seven seconds.
The battle was so brief that commentator Joe Rogan hadn’t finished saying how much Frevola enjoys fighting and “doesn’t really flinch away from the wild exchange” when the 30-year-old found himself on his back, looking up at the ceiling.
His post-fight celebration then went horribly wrong. McKinney hoisted himself onto the cage, pushed off, and fell on his knee. The impact’s effect was instantaneous, as he sank to the canvas on his good knee and took the weight off of it.
McKinney’s knee injury isn’t a huge problem because he’s been through a lot in his young life. Unbelievably, he came dangerously near to death some years ago after fighting police and getting tasered numerous times while “out of his mind” on a narcotic combination.
Terrance McKinney has established a reputation as a fighter who dispatches his opponents quickly. He defeated his opponent in the opening round in 10 of his 11 victories.
His most recent victory, only eight days ago, was the longest of his three in 2021, lasting just over a minute. His last two battles were 16 and 17 seconds long.
The Youngster won over the Internet after coming a long distance and totally demolished his opponent in a matter of seconds, with some of the best fighters congratulating him on Twitter.
