With eight knockouts and nine submissions to his name, the 30-year-old continues to prove he's as dangerous on the mat as he is on the feet. Since shifting camps to Fusion X-Cel in Orlando, McKinney has looked sharper and more composed.

The UFC 317 preliminary card was stacked with quick finishes. Gregory Rodrigues starched Jack Hermansson with a brutal left hook late in Round 1. Jose Miguel Delgado demolished Hyder Amil in just 26 seconds. Jacobe Smith choked out Niko Price in Round 2. And Tracy Cortez looked dominant in a clear decision win over Viviane Araujo.
