Terrance McKinney: American vet seeking to bounce back from fifth career-KO loss
Terrance McKinney (15-7) is coming off a head kick knockout loss by Esteban Ribovics last May and that was the fifth time he has been stopped by KO/TKO. His punch resistance appears to be waning but his fights continue to be hugely entertaining. 18 of his 22 bouts have ended in the first round regardless of the outcome and none of his fights have ever gone the distance. There will be no change in approach from the 30-year-old coming into this one as he will look for the spectacular finish as he always does.
Damir Hadzovic: Bosnian-Danish star needs win after three losses in last four
Damir Hadzovic (14-7) has lost three of his last four fights but the Bosnian-Danish star will be hoping time out of the Octagon will help him come back refreshed. He has not fought since July 2022 although he was due to fight in February last year but visa issues put paid to that fight against Bolaji Oki. The 38-year-old will know just how important this fight is to his future prospects in the organisation, but he will have to overcome any rust ahead of this bout.
Terrance McKinney vs Damir Hadzovic Prediction
This bout has the hallmarks of being one of the more entertaining ones on the prelims at UFC Fight Night 250.
Terrance McKinney is never involved in a boring fight and he takes on Damir Hadzovic who has not fought in two and a half years.
It is hard to make a case for Hadzovic after so long out of action. McKinney is always one punch away from winning or losing a fight but he has been active and will be motivated to get back to winning ways.
We have to side with McKinney in this one. Hadzovic was not tearing up any trees before his absence and it is hard to see a change in fortunes after so long out of action.
Prediction: Terrance McKinney to win via KO/TKO or submission
