Terrance McKinney expresses frustration with UFC Vegas 77 outcome due to illegal fence grabs. Read about his claims and determination to bounce back.
Terrance McKinney, also known as "T-Wrecks," expressed his dissatisfaction with the outcome of his recent fight at UFC Vegas 77. Despite his previous impressive performances in the UFC, McKinney suffered a second-round rear-naked choke loss against Nazim Sadykhov, resulting in a two-fight losing streak. However, McKinney believes that illegal fence grabs by his opponent played a significant role in his defeat.
The 28-year-old fighter from Spokane, Washington accepted his loss but pointed out the instances of his opponent grabbing the fence for leverage. McKinney argues that the referee should have warned his opponent and stood him up if he continued to engage in this illegal tactic. He also mentioned a previous incident where the same referee did not return his mouthpiece during a fight against Dober. McKinney questions the consistency and fairness of the officiating.
Keith Peterson, the referee for the fight, has faced controversy in the past but is known for his strict enforcement of the rules. McKinney started the bout strong, showcasing his grappling advantage, but believes that the fence grabs altered the course of the fight in his opponent’s favor.
In his UFC debut in June 2021, McKinney made a memorable impact by knocking out Matt Frevola in just seven seconds. However, he has yet to go to a decision in his career.
