Terrance McKinney vs. Kyle Nelson UFC Fight Night 271 preview​

McKinney (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) is a finish-or-be-finished type of fighter, and he enters this one looking to rebound from a first-round submission loss to Chris Duncan in December. Prior to that, "T-Wrecks" won back-to-back fights, finishing both Damir Hadzovic and Viacheslav Borshchev in the opening round.

Nelson (17-6-1 MMA, 5-5-1 UFC) may not be as reckless as his opponent, but he does possess early finishing ability. He's 4-1 over his last five, which includes a first-round finish of Bill Algeo. After an early stoppage loss to Steve Garcia, Nelson rebounded in October with a decision win over Matt Frevola to regain momentum.
