Terrance McKinney to Face Chris Duncan at UFC Fight Night on Oct. 14

Terrance McKinney will make a quick return to the Octagon this October after securing a highlight-reel knockout over Mike Breeden in August.

McKinney will take on surging Dana White’s Contender Series Season 6 graduate Chris Duncan at the UFC Fight Night on Oct. 14. McKinney announced the pairing via Instagram. The card takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a featherweight clash between Sodiq Yusuff and Edson Barboza.

Renowned for his exciting fighting style, McKinney has never gone the distance in his entire professional career. Going into his fourth outing of the year, the 28-year-old will look to build a solid win streak which has eluded him since a KO loss to Drew Dober in March 2022.

Meanwhile, Chris Duncan made his first Contender Series appearance in October 2021, where his undefeated record was marred by a brutal KO loss to Viacheslav Borshchev. However, “The Problem” returned to the show the next year and secured a dominant first-round KO win over Charlie Campbell to earn himself a UFC contract.

Duncan has since fought twice in 2023, picking up decision wins against Omar Morales and Yanal Ashmoz. While Duncan has amassed commendable experience outside the Octagon, McKinney will certainly serve as a step up in competition for the 30-year-old Scotsman.
