“T-Wrecks” gets a home game.
All-action Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight Terrance McKinney has officially been added to UFC Seattle next month (Sat., March 28, 2026), where he’ll collide with Canada’s Kyle Nelson inside Climate Pledge Arena.
McKinney confirmed the fight on social media, writing, “Fighting in my home state, feeling truly blessed.”
Whenever McKinney (17-8) is on a card, violence is almost guaranteed.
The 31-year-old saw his two-fight win streak snapped at UFC 323 last December when Chris Duncan submitted him in the first round (watch highlights). Before that setback, “T-Wrecks” tapped out Viacheslav Borshchev (watch highlights) and stopped Damir Hadzovic via TKO — both inside the opening frame.
McKinney owns a 100 percent finish rate. He has never gone to the judges in victory or defeat. In 25 professional fights, he’s only made it past the first round four times — losing three of those bouts.
It’s first round or bust. Every. Single. Time.

Standing across from him will be Kyle Nelson (17-6-1), who has quietly turned his UFC career around. After starting 1-4 inside the Octagon and flirting with a release, the Canadian battled to a draw against Doo Ho Choi in 2023 before rattling off three straight wins over Blake Bilder and Fernando Padilla, capped by a stoppage victory over Bill Algeo.
Nelson’s momentum stalled against the red-hot Steve Garcia (watch highlight), but he rebounded in emphatic fashion with a one-sided beatdown of Matt Frevola — a fight many felt should have been stopped.
He currently sits at 5-5-1 in the promotion
