UFC 329 live blog: King Green vs. Terrance McKinney
Published
3 months agoon
This is the UFC 329 live blog for King Green vs. Terrance McKinney, the main card lightweight bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Green (35-17, 1 NC) is one of the most experienced fighters on the UFC roster, sporting a record of 16-12-1 (1 NC) inside the octagon. He finds himself on an unlikely win streak, having recently knocked off Jeremy Stephens, Daniel Zellhuber, and Lance Gisbon Jr. With a win Saturday, Green will have strung together more than three victories for the first time since 2012.
While this matchup is unpredictable, one thing is almost guaranteed: McKinney (18-8) will make sure this fight doesn't go the scorecards. In 26 pro bouts, including 13 UFC appearances, McKinney has never had a fight end without someone getting knocked out or submitted. McKinney is the winner more often than not, and always in spectacular fashion as all eight of his UFC wins have come in the first round. On the flip-side, McKinney's past two losses have also come inside of a round, so there's no telling if he will be the hammer or the nail against Green.
Check out the UFC 329 live blog for King Green vs. Terrance McKinney below.
Round 1: Green enters the cage and yells at McKinney and then proceeds to talk to Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan before the fight starts. Real bad blood between him and McKinney ahead of this lightweight showdown.
No glove touch for Green and McKinney. McKinney starts with all and already tags Green's face with three punches but he manages to get him down. Back to their feet, and again McKinney on the offense. McKinney's too fast for Green early, and Green has blood all over his face a minute into the fight. Damn. McKinney with a nasty left hook to the body as Green is backed against the fence. And McKinney continue to land! Again to the body! And a knee! McKinney with great timing for a double leg takedown, and he has Green in trouble reaching full mount almost immediately. McKinney connects left hands one after the other and Green is in deep trouble. McKinney goes for a rear-naked choke but immediately changes his mind and goes back to ground and pound. A few punches later and McKinney again attacks the next, but Green is defending well now. Green talking to McKinney as he lands punches on the younger fighter who has his back. McKinney attacks the neck but Green manages to escape and get back to his feet! Green hurts McKinney with a right hand to the body and HE GETS THE KNOCKOUT WITH A SECOND LEFT! WOW!
Official result: King Green def. Terrance McKinney via first-round TKO (4:59)

Dana White gives encouraging update on Raoni Barcelos
Published

Dana
White has addressed Raoni
Barcelos' concerning stoppage loss to Raul Rosas
Jr.Raoni Barcelos is conscious and walking as doctors await test
White has addressed Raoni
Barcelos' concerning stoppage loss to Raul Rosas
Jr.
Barcelos was ahead on the judges' scorecards heading into the fifth
round of his
Ultimate Fighting Championship main event against Rosas Jr. at
Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Sept. 26. However, the Brazilian appeared
to lose consciousness during a wrestling exchange against the
Octagon wall, prompting the referee to stop the
UFC Vegas 121 headliner. He was later removed from the Octagon
on a stretcher.
Raoni Barcelos is conscious and walking as doctors await test
results
Barcelos was transported to a hospital, where he subsequently
regained consciousness. According to White, Barcelos is lucid and
able to walk while awaiting test results to determine what caused
the episode.
White said all pre-fight medicals were triple-checked before the
event. According to the UFC CEO, three ambulances and six doctors
were present at Meta APEX when Barcelos lost consciousness. White
also said Barcelos was sent directly to a Level I trauma center
rather than Valley Hospital.
“All the pre-fight medicals were triple-checked; everything was
good,†White said at the
Dana White's Contender Series Season 10
Week 8 post-fight presser. “There were six doctors here that
night, three ambulances. He was taken straight to the trauma
center, not to Valley. Everything was done the right way and the
outcome was good.â€
As for whether Barcelos will fight again, White said his primary
concern is the 39-year-old's health.

Dana White claims resistance to his involvement in boxing is
primarily coming from the United Kingdom.Dana White says British boxing figures are pushing back on his

Tyson
Fury and Anthony
Joshua are set to clash in a highly anticipated boxing bout on
Dec. 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The fight will
be broadcast on Netflix, which has announced that Turki Alalshikh's
The Ring and Dana White will collaborate to promote the event.
However, White's longtime rival, Eddie Hearn, disputes the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO's involvement.
Dana White says British boxing figures are pushing back on his
involvement
White labeled traditional boxing promoters taking issue with his
involvement an “ego thing.†He admitted that boxing isn't what it
was in the United States two decades ago and claimed it has become
primarily a British sport. According to White, the complaints and
resistance surrounding his involvement are coming from the U.K.
“Boxing has taken a hit in the United States,†he said at the
latest
Dana White's Contender Series presser. “It's not as big as it
was here 20 years ago. It has become a very British sport. And the
sh*t that you're hearing, the crying and the b*tching and whatever,
is all coming from the U.K.â€
Despite Fury and Joshua signing contracts with Alalshikh and coming
through in their tune-up fights earlier this year, uncertainty
surrounded the bout until it was recently made official. While some
parties wanted the fight to take place in the U.S. to cater to a
global audience, Joshua and Hearn pushed for the fight to remain in
the U.K. Fury also publicly expressed doubts about the matchup
taking place until recently.
