Promise of the lightweights (up to 70,3kg.) of Ultimate, Terrance McKinney, arrived at the organization in 2021 and emerged victorious in three of his four fights. Close to the top 15 in the category, the North American was chosen to face the newcomer Ismael Bonfim, hired via 'Contender Series'. The athlete who is known for the 'power' in his hands, plans to continue living up to his fame.

“He’s a very good boxer, but the power advantage goes to me. Once we get into the standup, the world will understand what I'm talking about. When I swing him, I think he's going to try for the takedown. My size alone will intimidate him, even if he is a black belt”, he said, McKinney to 'B.J. Penn.with'.
Happy to have come to Brazil, the athlete does not plan to please the patriots. Terrance promised to silence the crowd and knock out his opponent in the first round.
“I’m looking to keep the 100% finish rate intact. I want the knockout in this fight, but if the submission presents itself, I'll take any one of them. This is mixed martial arts, not kickboxing. I just think I'm too long, within two minutes and 30 seconds maximum, I'll end the fight. I think it could be something crazy, fans should expect something insane. I’m going to silence the arena”, concluded the North American.
Protagonist of exciting fights, Mckinney is seen as one of the promises of Ultimate. In his last confrontation, the athlete beat Eric Gonzalez, with a standing submission. His record is 13 wins and 4 setbacks.
Hired in 2022 through the Contender Series, Ismael Bonfim will make his debut at the same event as his brother, Gabriel Bonfim. At a great moment in his career, the Brazilian native hasn't known what it's like to lose since 2014, when he was beaten by Renato Moicano. 'Marreta', as he is known, has 18 wins and three losses in his career.
