Terrance McKinney climbed back into the win column at UFC Saudi Arabia, scoring a dominant first-round technical knockout against Damir Hadžovi?.
McKinney came out aggressive early and started to land some big shots on Hadžovi?. That encouraged Hadžovi? to shoot in for a takedown. Though he was successful in getting McKinney down to the mat, it didn’t take long for ‘T-Wrecks’ to get the upper hand and quickly move into the mount.
Once in a dominant position, McKinney unleashed some hellacious 12-to-6 elbows, forcing Hadžovi? to give up his back. That prompted McKinney to unload a flurry of strikes looking to get an early stoppage. Before long, all Hadžovi? could do was cover up and try to mitigate the damage, forcing the referee to step in and call for the finish just past the two-minute mark of the opening round.
Official Result: Terrance McKinney def. Damir Hadžovi? via TKO (ground and pound) at 2:01 of Round 1.
