Terrance McKinney saved things at UFC 317 in a fast time.
Although a heavyweight slog may have kicked off Saturday's pay-per-view, it was not long for Theo von and other early UFC to witness the first finish of the night.
After Jhonata Diniz and Alvin Hines fought against a decision, the early provisional part of UFC 317 closed with a memorable performance of multi -year Finisher McKinney, who made easy and short work of the always entertaining Viacheslav Borshchev.

Terrance McKinney runs through Viacheslav Borshchev in less than a minute on UFC 317
'T.Wrecks' has become known for his fast starts to fight, something he introduced to the global MMA fan base in its very first UFC performance.
During the debut, McKinney supplied a record-breaking knockout on UFC 263 by completing Matt Fre clola in just seven seconds. Although not so fast, McKinney enjoyed similar success at UFC 317.
The American put his name early in the night in the bonus hat by running through Borshchev. From the start, McKinney rushed 'Slava Claus', took the Russian lightweight down and attacked with a guillotine choke.
While Borshchev tried to escape frantically from à la Alexander Volkanovski against Brian Ortega on UFC 266 in 2021, he eventually collapsed and tapped.

That result has increased a number of incredible statistics about Mcinney's MMA -CV.
'T.Wrecks' has now won 16 of his 17 professional victories through the first round finishes. He has not passed the opening frame in the victory since a third round entry in just his fourth fight.
McKinney has therefore completed all seven of his UFC victories in the first round, most hunter in the promotion since 2021.
“Sorry that took so long,” McKinney joked after the fight with X.
Sorry that lasted so long

More important than the timely nature of the result, McKinney has now won three consecutive fights in his UFC career for the first time.
He will now build on that consistency by pushing the top 15 of 155 pounds.
