Did Terrance McKinney break the record for fastest ever knockout at UFC 263?

Terrance McKinney broke the record for the fastest knockout in UFC lightweight history tonight at UFC 263. McKinney stopped debutant Matt Frevola in his tracks at the 0:07 mark of the opening round.

The aforesaid stellar first-round victory instantly propelled Jorge Masvidal to superstardom. The Miami native then fought Nate Diaz for the BMF (Baddest Motherf**ker) title at UFC 244 and garnered massive fame by headlining alongside 'The Stockton Slugger.' Masvidal won the coveted title via TKO but fell short twice in his back-to-back attempts to claim the welterweight throne against Kamaru Usman.

Following the impressive win, McKinney expressed his wish to fight a top 10 contender in the lightweight division next. Considering McKinney was roped in on short notice by the UFC brass to fight in the UFC 263 prelims, the former LFA lightweight certainly deserves a worthy opponent after his massive KO over Matt Frevola.

"I'll fight anyone. I think I'm ready for anyone in the top 10, you know. I'm just gonna keep trusting in God and keep working my a** off, honestly," said Terrance McKinney in the post-fight interview.
