UFC lightweight Terrance McKinney will be racking up the Air Miles for his next fight.
McKinney (15-7) is set to take on Damir Hadzovic (14-7) at UFC Saudi Arabia on February 1, 2025, with news of the booking coming from “T. Wrecks” himself. The event takes place at The Venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In a response to a social media report about the pairing, McKinney wrote “February 1st we’re back for Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia,” tagging sponsor Fusion Xcel Performance and adding “we will show a complete fighter come Feb 1st move to FL to better my career been a huge blessing all glory to god can’t wait to show the growth.” He’d go out to shout out coach Julien Williams as well.
McKinney will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Esteban Ribovics last time out, a setback that snapped a two-fight win streak. All but one of McKinney’s 15 pro victories have come inside of a round.
Damir Hadzovic is likewise coming off a single loss, to Marc Diakiese in 2022. It’s been a long stint on the sidelines since, and to make matters worse, Hadzovic is 1-3 in his last four.
