Terrance McKinney returned to the win column in a big way Saturday when he quickly submitted former Combate Global standout Erick Gonzalez at UFC on ESPN 40 in Las Vegas.
The lightweight bout kicked off the main card at the UFC Apex and did not last long. McKinney (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) submitted Gonzalez (14-7 MMA, 0-2 UFC) via standing rear-naked choke at 2:17 of Round 1.
The finish came with McKinney in the backpack position. Gonzalez unsuccessfully hand-fought as McKinney sunk his arm under the chin. The two fighters leaned sideways but did not fall. The tap came and referee Chris Tognoni intervened.
