Terrance McKinney hoping to meet King Green 'in the middle and scrap' at UFC 329: 'Give the fans a show'

Terrance McKinney wants to make a statement at UFC 329.

McKinney is set to open up the UFC 329 main card against King Green in what should be a fan-friendly fight for however long it lasts. When McKinney got the fight offer to fight on a Conor McGregor card and against an opponent like Green, it was an immediate yes, despite it being on rather short notice.

“It was five weeks out, and I was like, that was too big of an opportunity to not say yes to,†McKinney said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “I was close to 200lbs, and I got my weight down. I'm blessed to be on a card like this.â€

McKinney knows getting to open up the main card of a McGregor fight is huge. So, he believes this is the biggest fight of his career to date.

“This is a huge opportunity, and it's cool to fight a big name in the company,†McKinney added. “It helps solidify me and helps me get a ranked opponent. … You can't overlook him, he's crafty and awkward, you have to respect him, or you pay the piper. I know he's dangerous, but so am I. I'm ready to give the fans a show.â€

As Terrance McKinney said, he plans to give the fans a show, so he's hopeful King Green will want to meet in the middle and throw down with him. If that happens, he expects to get a first-round finish to send a statement to the lightweight division.

“I'm not taking him lightly, but no matter who it is, there's a possibility I get him out of there in the first round. And, I have the tools to do that on the feet or on the ground. I'm excited to meet him in the middle and scrap. … I'm down to stand-up, but the pressure and size difference, I bet he shoots,†McKinney said.

Should McKinney get the first-round stoppage win at UFC 329, he expects it will lead to a ranked opponent next time out.

“I think I get a ranked opponent next. Lord willing, everything goes to plan, I shoot for a ranked opponent after that. Take it fight by fight and fight for the belt when it's all said and done,†McKinney concluded.

Do you think Terrance McKinney will beat King Green at UFC 329?

16-0 Farid Basharat fires back at Dana White over UFC exit comments
Farid
Basharat is pushing back against suggestions that he was
difficult to work with.

Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana
White addressed Basharat's departure after
UFC Edmonton. White suggested there were reasons beyond the
unbeaten bantamweight's results for the decision not to renew his
contract, prompting a response.

Farid Basharat denies refusing UFC fights, cites Victor Hugo
weight miss and torn MCL

The UFC did not offer Basharat (16-0) a new contract despite his
7-0 promotional record. After White raised difficulties with
matchmakers and declined fights as possible reasons for such
departures, “Ferocious†reiterated that he had never turned down an
opponent and cited instances in which he competed under unfavorable
circumstances.

Basharat pointed to his victory over Victor Hugo, who weighed 145.5
pounds for their originally scheduled bantamweight bout in 2024 —
9.5 pounds above the non-title limit. He also said he competed with
a torn medial collateral ligament in his knee during his
Dana White's Contender Series appearance in 2022.

“He kind of alluded to, maybe I was turning down fights, or maybe I
was difficult to deal with,†Basharat said on Instagram. “I
definitely didn't turn nobody down. In fact, we're talking about
the same guy that, in Abu Dhabi, I fought in 2024; my opponent
missed weight by 10 pounds and I still went ahead with the fight…
Still put on a good show and won. In my Contender Series fight, I
had a torn MCL, still went ahead with the fight… These are facts
you can ask your UFC staff; you can ask the physio team.â€
