An explosive lightweight scrap opens the main card at UFC 329 this Saturday as veteran King Green takes on knockout artist Terrance McKinney in Las Vegas. Both men are looking to climb a stacked division, and neither is shy about making things violent. With McKinney's terrifying early power and Green's recent vulnerability to fast starts, our prediction backs T-Wrecks to win.
Green enters on a genuine late-career resurgence. After back-to-back stoppage losses to Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy raised questions about the 39-year-old, the seasoned boxer rebounded with three straight victories, including two finishes in 2026, most recently beating Jeremy Stephens at UFC 328 in May. His fast hands and sharp counters from both stances still trouble most of the division.
McKinney, meanwhile, brings pure chaos. T-Wrecks got back in the win column with a spectacular 24-second knockout of Kyle Nelson at UFC Seattle in March. Famous for his one-shot power, he has never gone to a decision in his career and holds a 100 percent finish rate across 26 pro fights.
The danger for Green is obvious. Both of his recent defeats came by early stoppage, and McKinney is the exact kind of explosive finisher built to exploit that window.

Our King Green vs Terrance McKinney Prediction
This one promises fireworks from the opening bell. McKinney possesses rare early explosiveness and will hunt for the finish before Green can settle into a rhythm. Green is a crafty, sharp-striking veteran, but his recent stoppage losses show the door is there to be kicked in, and few finish faster than T-Wrecks.
If McKinney lands clean in those crucial first minutes, Green may not get the chance to work his usual magic. Hence, our King Green vs Terrance McKinney prediction is that Terrance McKinney wins.
