Terrance McKinney will bring his action-packed style back to the octagon in February when he takes on Damir Hadzovic in a lightweight bout in Saudi Arabia.
McKinney (15-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC) is set to clash with Hadzovic (14-7 MMA, 4-5 UFC) at UFC Fight Night: Riyadh on Feb. 1 at The Venue. Both fighters recently confirmed the matchup on social media.
The fight will mark McKinney’s 10th octagon appearance, and so far he hasn’t had a fight go past eight minutes. He has experienced mixed results, but one way or another, he has proven himself to be a violent figure with notable wins over Fares Ziam and Matt Frevola.
Hadzovic, meanwhile, has had ups and downs of his own inside the cage, but has maintained a spot on the UFC roster since April 2016. He hasn’t seen action in more than two years, and will try to beat McKinney to break out of a 1-3 slump in his past four contests.

- Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik
