By admin — In News — July 12, 2026

   ​King Green and Terrance McKinney collided earlier tonight, Saturday, July 11, 2026, at UFC 329 LIVE on Paramount+ from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout delivered non-stop chaos from the opening bell, with Green meeting McKinney’s relentless pressure with a mix of front kicks and counter punches. Despite Green’s best efforts to deter the onslaught, McKinney stayed in his face, pushing him toward the fence and unleashing a combination that showcased his intensity and power. Green, never one to fold, stood his ground and fired back, but his face quickly took on a bloody mask as the damage mounted.
McKinney’s aggression paid dividends in the first round when he slipped past Green’s defenses and secured an easy takedown, driving him straight to mount. For a stretch of a minute or two, McKinney looked like he might finish the fight, creeping toward a rear-naked choke and landing strikes that put Green in survival mode. The veteran Green endured the assault and managed to scramble free, returning to his feet with less than 30 seconds remaining in the round.
That late surge changed the momentum. Green came out swinging to start the second phase, attacking McKinney with sharper straight punches and precise front kicks. He landed a telling body shot that dropped McKinney, leaving the younger fighter in trouble and forced to cover up as the referee stepped in to halt the onslaught just before the bell, signaling Green’s dramatic comeback.
Watch the highlights to relive the wild sequence that defined the night: Green’s gritty resilience and McKinney’s explosive start, followed by Green’s late-round surge that flipped the script in dramatic fashion. This old-school, back-and-forth battle was a reminder of why King Green remains one of the sport’s most tenacious veterans, and why Terrance McKinney, despite his moments of dominance, has a tendency to fade as the clock winds down—even when he’s ahead on the scorecards.
This victory marks Green’s fourth consecutive win, a streak that cements his status as one of the UFC’s most durable and seasoned fighters. With momentum on his side and his 40th birthday approaching, Green’s performance opens the door to exciting future matchups against other veteran contenders who bring a similar level of experience and grit. A potential next-step matchup that fans would likely embrace is a veteran-on-veteran showdown with Dan Hooker, offering another chance for Green to showcase his toughness and ring IQ against a fellow seasoned veteran.
