“I think I got a lot of advantages in this fight and I’m mostly just making sure I’m in shape because obviously he knows how to fight three-round fights. I think he’s a decision machine,” McKinney said. “You got to get there when you are fighting Terrance McKinney, that’s the problem.”
McKinney makes a good point, as only two of his 17 fights as a professional have made it out of the first round. Being a fast starter and a finisher is something that McKinney is proud of and wants to be known for.
That’s why he’s expecting to come out and make it a quick outing versus Bonfim.

“First-round knockout or a first-round submission,” McKinney predicted. “Just expect me to be in his face at all times, just really making him have anxiety and overswing like he does sometimes. He’ll feel the pressure to do something uncomfortable.”
“We’re going to look to fight at range and use my energy wisely and then pick my shots when I got him hurt.”
