KSI and McKinney got into an online spat over the weekend
Terrance McKinney found out the hard way against KSI that you never race a cheetah, taunt a bear or argue social media statistics with a YouTuber. The two got into a spat on Twitter over the weekend and T-Wrecks was seemingly winning the argument until one fateful move.
McKinney is among the latest at lightweight who’s managed to make a splash in the deeply talented division with his 100% finish rate in the UFC. In fact on his debut on a card featuring Israel Adesanya and Nate Diaz, McKinney managed to grab the headlines with a flash seven-second KO. From there he’s gone on to have 3 first-round finishes with one loss to formerly ranked Drew Dober in a short-notice match-up.
Terrance took offense to a list put out by the youtuber on his Twitter. The British social media star argued that he was at the top of the list of the most highly anticipated “fighters” in the YouTube/Celebrity boxing scene. McKinney replied to this saying he was tired of these lists with “fake fighters” on them.
KSI replied to this labeling McKinney’s opinion as “cringe” and McKinney was right back on his case. For those who don’t know it was KSI and Logan Paul who started the entire genre of YouTube Boxing back when the two faced off in an exhibition in Manchester. The undercard also featured Jake Paul and Deji, JJ’s younger brother.

Terrance McKinney gets shut down by KSI when he brings up Analytics to the argument
Since that night JJ would have one more professional fight against Logan, where he was victorious before he quit boxing for some time. Now the Youtuber, with a rejuvenated spirit has come back to the squared circle and on his return night faced two opponents, both of who he KO’d.
However McKinney knew he had something that the Brit could only ever dream of, the ability to actually fight. He replied saying, “This boy is a fake fighter but gonna call me cringe you ain’t nothin but a personality. Screech vs Urkel in 2022 type of shit. “
KSI replied by reminding him that despite being a fake fighter he could sell more PPVs than McKinney could. To this fact, he was right and it would’ve been obvious to anyone but McKinney who lost the entire argument when he decided to argue clicks with someone who’s based their entire life around achieving the most attention.
McKinney posted the analytics for the past 30 days of his Instagram reach, while decent for a UFC fighter still outside the rankings, it was no match for the streamer/youtuber/rapper. McKinney’s account had reached a healthy 1.8 million people in the last 30 days, compare this to the 6.9 Million who visited JJ’s page in the past week and you see how quickly the argument is shattered.
What do you think about this situation? Do you feel it’s necessary to have the clout for it to translate into being a better fighter? Let us know!
