Terrance McKinney not satisfied with 55-second finish: ‘Job’s not done’
UFC 317 winner Terrance McKinney spoke to MMA Junkie and reporters post-fight after his 55-second submission of Viacheslav Borshchev in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS – Terrance McKinney met with MMA Junkie and other media members Saturday after his win over Viacheslav Borshchev at UFC 317.
McKinney (17-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) needed just 55 seconds to submit Borshchev (8-6-1 MMA, 3-5-1 UFC) with a mounted guillotine choke on the prelims at T-Mobile Arena. The 30-year-old lightweight has all 17 of his wins by stoppage, including 16 in the first round. Of those, eight have come in less than a minute – including Saturday’s masterpiece.
Still, McKinney said he wasn’t satisfied with the performance.
“My job’s not done,” McKinney said at his post-fight news conference. “I didn’t start this just to participate or get a couple in the UFC. We’re looking to get the belt. I just want to get back to it and just keep developing myself as a martial artist.
“(Me growing as a fighter) is knowing this is a fight – anything can happen, and just knowing I’m competing with the highest level people in the world. (I’m) just staying humble and knowing it could flip any time – so I’m making sure I don’t get too high on it.”
McKinney has won four of his past five fights in an average time of about 70 seconds each.
