Heavy first broke the news on Thursday that UFC 329 would be getting a striker’s delight at 155 pounds. Per the initial report, and subsequently confirmed by one of the fighters on his Instagram Stories page, King Green (35-17-1, 1 NC) will be throwing down with Terrance McKinney (18-8) on July 11. They will be colliding inside of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, likely serving as a high-billed prelim.
Green currently rides a three-fight win streak, his longest since claiming a trio of decisions over Clay Guida, Lando Vannata and Alan Patrick in 2020. In this run, he beat Lance Gibson Jr., knocked out Daniel Zellhuber and tapped Jeremy Stephens within the last seven months. The grizzled veteran will be entering into his 31st with the promotion, having joined the roughly two dozen names who completed at least 30 UFC bouts led by Jim Miller’s 47.
Far less experience but arguably more dangerous, the Washington native McKinney has yet to go to a decision after 26 pro outings. In the UFC thus far, he has fought a mere 13 times, but no match has ever lasted more than 7:17. While Green has won his last three, McKinney can celebrate finish victories in three of his last four walks to the cage. In March, he punted Kyle Nelson in 24 seconds to get back on the winning track.
