UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway adds lightweight veteran vs. knockout artist matchup

King Green's 31-fight UFC tenure faces another test when the lightweight veteran collides with the explosive Terrance McKinney at UFC 329 on July 11 in Las Vegas, capping off the promotion's International Fight Week.
Green (35-17-1, 1 NC) carries a resume of 16-12-1 with one no-contest inside the octagon and is riding a three-fight win streak highlighted by a first-round submission of fellow veteran Jeremy Stephens at UFC 328 in May. The 39-year-old has made a career of grinding through tough opposition, and this bout marks his 31st appearance for the promotion.
McKinney (18-8), by contrast, entered the UFC in 2021—when Green was already 15 fights deep—but has made an immediate impact. The Washington native has won three of four and maintains a perfect finishing record across 26 pro bouts, never allowing a fight to reach the judges. His last seven contests have all ended before the midway point of Round 1, including a knockout of Kyle Nelson that took just 24 seconds at UFC Seattle.
The matchup represents a stylistic clash between Green's seasoned fundamentals and McKinney's explosive finishing power. McGregor's return from a five-year absence against Max Holloway headlines the event on the Netflix platform after the UFC's recent streaming deal with Paramount+.
