“T-Wrecks” gets a home game.
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.
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
