McKinney continued his callout of Pimblett over the weekend
Terrance McKinney just made history, not for anything he did inside the octagon though that has been remarkable on its own accord, no this time T-Wreck made history by calling out Paddy Pimblett on Ariel’s show while waiting for his wife to give birth to his first child.
You read that right, merely a day after his big first-round finish and return to the win column, Terrance was back home in Spokane, Washington waiting for the birth of his first child. This was news to Ariel as well who didn’t exactly know how to react to the news.
Cheery as ever Terrance welcomed the well wishes from Ariel as he announced that he was ready to make big changes in his life now as a father and having a family to take care of. To this extent, he called out the fellow young and rising prospect, Paddy Pimblett.
Terrance McKinney offers to fight Jim Miller or Bobby Green if Paddy Pimblett fight doesn’t work out
Terrance has been vocal about wanting to fight Pimblett shortly since his UFC debut. The two even got into a Twitter spat on one of Pimblett’s suspended accounts that led nowhere. After his most recent win over Erik Gonzalez, Terrance reignited his campaign against Paddy asking for a fight in the post-fight press conference.
Yet to receive a reply from Paddy , Terrance amplified his call out via an appearance on the MMA hour. However he was realistic in his approach, he said, “I would love that fight but realistically it won’t happen until we’re both ranked.” Understanding the UFC has a way it manages the career trajectory of its big-name stars, Paddy respectfully asked to be put in consideration.
“I’ve still got other names in mind if that doesn’t go, I would love to fight Jim Miller or Bobby Green,” said Terrance about who he wishes to face if the Paddy fight won’t happen in the near future. When asked why, Twrecks said, “It’ll be honoring them, because they’re legends and it will always be an exciting fight.”
Terrance is currently 3-1 in the UFC and being in the lightweight division he has some work to do before he starts seeing a rank alongside his name. Terrance has stated that he envisions himself being ranked in the division during the same time next year.
