Winner: Terrance McKinney
Confidence Score: 72Terrance McKinney is the more dynamic and dangerous finisher, with 15 first-round finishes, a balanced attack (8 KOs, 8 submissions), and a proven ability to end fights quickly. He has a significant edge in grappling and takedown defense (78% vs Borshchev's 43%), and his takedown accuracy (37%) is a major threat against Borshchev, who has struggled against strong wrestlers and submission artists, as seen in his loss to Chase Hooper. McKinney's 73.5-inch reach and high striking accuracy (56%) also give him a slight edge in the stand-up. Historically, fighters with McKinney's aggressive style, reach, and finishing ability have a high win rate against pure strikers/kickboxers with weak takedown defense. Borshchev is dangerous on the feet but is less versatile, has no submission wins, and tends to lose when taken down. Unless Borshchev can keep it standing and avoid early pressure, McKinney's explosiveness and grappling edge make him the more likely winner.
