Terrance McKinney is set to fight Viacheslav Borshchev at UFC 317 in Las Vegas on June 28, as part of a card headlined by a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
Terrance McKinney’s been on a roll in 2015. The lightweight knockout artist announced he’s set to fight Viacheslav Borshchev (8-5-1) at UFC 317. This event’s happening at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on June 28. MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck confirmed the matchup with sources.
Check out McKinney’s video announcement below.
“Christmas came early,” McKinney wrote. “See [you] guys International Fight Week.” His excitement’s contagious!
McKinney (16-7) is known for his thrilling performances in the UFC. With a 6-4 record, he’s never gone to a decision. His fights often end in under half a round. Last February, “T, Wrecks” knocked out Damir Hadzovic in just over two minutes.
Borshchev (8-5-1) also knows how to entertain. In eight UFC appearances, “Slava Claus” has snagged three post-fight bonuses. He had a memorable three-round battle with Nazim Sadykhov, ending in a majority draw. However, he’s coming off a loss to Tom Nolan and is 1-2-1 in his last four fights.
UFC 317’s headliner is a vacant lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira. Flyweight champ Alexandre Pantoja will defend his title against Kai Kara-France in the co-main event. Exciting stuff ahead!
