A mouth-watering lightweight match-up is joining UFC 329, this year’s International Fight Week centerpiece.
Joining McGregor vs. Holloway 2 will be King Green (35–17–1, 1NC) taking on Terrance McKinney (18-8), a youth versus veteran pairing that will almost certainly be a crowd pleaser.
Heavy.com’s Marcel Dorff first reported news of the match-up on Thursday, with McKinney confirming the booking a short time later.
“I can not describe how incredibly grateful I am for this opportunity to fight on the McGregor vs Holloway card,” McKinney wrote on social media. “Jesus is king from staying on someone’s floor to being a house owner now this let’s gooo #AllGloryToGod for the victory to come UFC 329.”
Green has shown he still has legs in the fight game as even at age 39, he’s been putting together wins. He’s picked up three straight victories, most recently submitting Jeremy Stephens. Green isn’t just finding success with fellow vets, however, as his current win streak has seen him defeat Daniel Zellhuber and Lance Gibson Jr.
McKinney, eight years Green’s junior, is 3-1 in his last four bouts and is coming off a finish of Kyle “The Monster” Nelson.
