Game Overview

This UFC 317 lightweight bout features Terrance McKinney, a highly aggressive and athletic fighter known for early finishes, versus Viacheslav Borshchev, a crafty striker with defensive wrestling weaknesses. McKinney's style revolves around quick and violent starts aiming for a fast finish, while Borshchev tends to rely on striking counterattacks but struggles defensively against pressure. The match is expected to be action-packed and could end quickly if McKinney achieves an early submission or knockout.

Key Factors to Consider

  • McKinney holds a UFC record of 6-4 with notable fast finishes early in fights, whereas Borshchev has a UFC record of 3-4-1 and tends to have difficulties maintaining defense against aggressive opponents. McKinney lands slightly more significant strikes per minute (5.91 vs. 5.25) with higher accuracy (56% vs. 54%) and absorbs fewer strikes per minute (2.59 vs. 4.77). Borshchev has better strike defense (57% vs. 47%), but overall McKinney's offense and durability metrics favor him.
  • They have no previous direct encounters in UFC or other major MMA promotions, making this a first-time matchup. The striking and wrestling styles suggest a McKinney advantage in pace and finishing ability.
  • No reported injuries for either fighter leading into the bout, indicating both will enter in typical physical condition.
  • The fight takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a neutral venue but one where McKinney has fought multiple times. The atmosphere and event magnitude could motivate both fighters. McKinney's recent social media activity shows strong confidence and readiness.
  • McKinney aims to reassert himself with an emphatic win and maintain momentum in UFC lightweight rankings. Borshchev looks to prove his striking skills and overcome defensive vulnerabilities to gain UFC credibility.
