It’s only going to be a matter of time before I catch up to him. I feel great. “I want to fight in the LA. card in September. I’m going to keep doing this stuff all year long.” As expected, McKinney came out firing right away and he clipped Green with a punch that opened up a cut on the head. Green tried to counter with some quick kicks but McKinney was just head hunting, gunning for the knockout. McKinney hammered Green with a nasty uppercut and then going to the body with a hard shot as well. Green’s face was covered in blood with McKinney just marching forward with hard, heavy punches. A split second later, McKinney swooped inside and grabbed a quick takedown to put Green on his mat against the cage. McKinney wasted no time moving into the mount as he began raining down punches in succession before briefly looking for a rear-naked choke. Another submission attempt from McKinney allowed Green to finally escape a really bad position on the ground as time ticked away in the opening round. Back on his feet, Green found an opening with a devastating kick to the body with a punch behind it and McKinney eventually crumbled to the canvas. Green continued his assault with several hard punches and just before time ran out, the referee stepped in to rescue McKinney from further harm. It was a stunning performance from Green to weather that early storm and then comeback to provide another incredible finish to add McKinney to his ever growing resume while also stacking up his fourth win in a row overall.
