McKinney on the fight’s key moment
“I knew he was going to be a little bit nervous, so we wanted to take advantage of that – be in his face, get him nervous and get him to start swinging big. I was able to find a counter right hand, and that was the end of the fight. He started shooting, and we just took advantage from there.”
McKinney on staying calm and confident
“I’m just humbling myself, listening to my coaches, trusting my teammates, trusting everyone around me, and most importantly, just staying humble and know that this is not my doing.”
McKinney on what he wants next
“I want two more victories (in 2025) and a shot at the top 15, where I know I can be, and most importantly just being a man my kids can look up to, and loving my wife and stop being a slut and really just buckle down and start being a champion on and off the mat.”
