UFC Lightweight Terrance McKinney aka T. Wrecks is going to be a big problem and in reference to the famous catchphrase of MMA Legend Chael Sonnen, Wrecks never “lets the judges get close” to his performance. Wrecks is 12-3 in his overall MMA career and 11 of those 12 wins come from finishes within the first round.

McKinney made his debut back in July 2021 at UFC 263 headlined by UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori. McKinney knocked his opponent Matt Frevola out in just seven seconds of the very first round! Now at UFC Vegas 49, McKinney got his hands raised for a second consecutive victory inside a UFC octagon and another first-round finish when he choked out Fares Ziam. It’s high time in McKinney’s favour and there’s no stopping to his rising.

This is evident from the tweets from the likes of the UFC itself, UFC fighter Michael Chiesa, commentator Laura Sanko, and many more.
