Overview
- King Green defeated Terrance McKinney by TKO at 4:59 of Round 1 at UFC 329, finishing a fight that McKinney had largely controlled before tiring.
- The finish, called by referee Kerry Hatley just before the bell, drew immediate criticism from McKinney and many fans who said the bout should have continued into Round 2.
- Both fighters publicly squashed their pre‑fight tension after the event and were seen together in Las Vegas hours after the fight, removing any lingering personal animus.
- Reports from event coverage say Green earned a reported $100,000 performance bonus and has said he wants to fight again in September as he rides a late‑career four‑fight win streak.
- McKinney's loss renewed focus on his early‑finish, high‑pace style and conditioning, and the stoppage has reopened conversation about how referees should handle last‑second interventions to balance safety and fair outcomes.
