Mar. 28—SEATTLE — Once again, Terrance McKinney has struck like lightning in the octagon.
McKinney, fighting out of Spokane, is one of the most effective first-round lightweights in the UFC and handled business quickly on Saturday, scoring a 24-second TKO win over Kyle Nelson at Climate Pledge Arena.
McKinney (18-8-0) backed down Nelson (17-7-1) and dropped him to the mat with a high left kick. He then pounced to the ground and finished his 15-strike flurry with overhand fists.
McKinney has won five of his last seven bouts and recovered from a loss to Chris Duncan on Dec. 6. He holds the record for fastest knockout in UFC lightweight history at seven seconds.
"It feel amazing, I almost cried right now," McKinney said in his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier. "It's the ability God gave me, but I also have that ninja strength."
Fellow Spokane fighter Michael Chiesa is set to take on Niko Price later in the evening, in what will be his final bout.
This story will be updated.
