McKinney on the fight’s key moment

“I knew he was going to be a bit of bit nervous, so we desired to benefit from that – be in his face, get him nervous and get him to begin swinging big. I used to be in a position to discover a counter right hand, and that was the tip of the fight. He began shooting, and we just took advantage from there.”

McKinney on staying calm and assured

“I’m just humbling myself, listening to my coaches, trusting my teammates, trusting everyone around me, and most significantly, just staying humble and know that this just isn’t my doing.”

McKinney on what he wants next

“I would like two more victories (in 2025) and a shot at the highest 15, where I do know I will be, and most significantly just being a person my kids can look as much as, and loving my wife and stop being a slut and really just buckle down and begin being a champion on and off the mat.”
