Ням гарагт болох UFC 334 тулааны үеэр хөнгөн жингийн тулаанч Терранс МакКинни болон ахмад туршлагатай тамирчин Жим Миллер нар октагонд хүч үзэх гэж байна.
Энэхүү тулааны өмнө MMAmania.com сайтаас 1.5-аас доош раундад багтаан ялагч тодорно гэсэн таамгийг дэвшүүлж байна. Терранс МакКинни нь тулааны эхний раундад маш өндөр хурд, хүч гаргадаг онцлогтой бөгөөд түүний мэргэжлийн 27 тулааны ихэнх нь эхний раундад шийдэгдсэн байдаг. Харин 43 настай Жим Миллер нь 48 дахь удаагаа октагонд гарч буй туршлагатай тулаанч бөгөөд сүүлийн үед өрсөлдөгчөө гильотин боолтоор буулгаж авах чадвараа харуулсаар байна.
МакКиннигийн эхний дайралтыг тэсвэрлэх эсэх нь Миллерийн хувьд гол сорилт болох төлөвтэй байна. Хэрэв Миллер эхний давалгааг давж чадвал тулааны явцыг өөрт ашигтайгаар эргүүлэх боломжтой юм. Харин МакКиннигийн хувьд эрт дуусгах гэсэн оролдлого нь түүний биеийн хүчийг хурдан шавхдаг тул тулаан сунжрах тусам хүндрэлтэй нөхцөл байдал үүсэх магадлалтай.
Энэхүү тулааны ялагчийг таамаглахад хүндрэлтэй ч, хоёр тамирчны тулааны хэв маягаас харахад тоглолт хоёрдугаар раунд хүрэлгүйгээр эрт өндөрлөх хүлээлт өндөр байна. UFC 334-ийн үндсэн тулаанд хүнд жингийн аварга Сирил Ганэ өөрийн бүсээ Жош Хокитын эсрэг анх удаа хамгаалан тулалдана.

UFC 334 is less than 24 hours away …
It all goes down this weekend (Sat., Nov. 14, 2026) inside the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. In the main event, undisputed Heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane makes his first title defense against undefeated challenger Josh Hokit in what should be chaos.
We have a weekly series at MMAmania.com called “Weekend Lock,” where we share one bet that we predict will slap in “The Big Apple” when the chaotic dust settles. We also want to hear what our readers think (that’s you!), so please tell us your most confident UFC 334 betting lock in the comments section below (see full UFC 334 odds here).
Last week’s recap: We’re on a three-week roll, as Tatiana Suarez defeated Virna Jandiroba via a unanimous decision. It was an awful fight to watch — but the moneyline cashed.
Let’s keep rolling below:
UFC Lightweight madman Terrance McKinney collides with the seemingly immortal Jim Miller in a matchup that has violence written all over it.
This week, I’m locking in McKinney vs. Miller Under 1.5 Rounds (-275).
Here’s why:
If you’ve watched McKinney fight even once, you know exactly what you’re getting.
Absolute chaos.
“T-Wrecks” is one of the most explosive fighters in the entire promotion, and his first-round finishing rate is downright ridiculous — win or lose. In 27 professional fights, he’s only been out of the first round four times (he’s lost three of those).
McKinney has made a career out of sprinting across the Octagon, throwing everything with bad intentions and trying to take his opponent’s head off before the fight even gets going. When it works, it’s spectacular (like this).
When it doesn’t? Well, things usually get ugly.
McKinney is a tremendous hammer, but he’s not a very good nail.
The 32-year-old is incredibly dangerous when he’s the one dictating the action, but we’ve seen him completely unravel when opponents survive his initial onslaught and start firing back. His cardio has also been a recurring concern because he burns through so much energy trying to get opponents out of there immediately.
That’s what makes this matchup so interesting.
Miller is the complete opposite.
The 43-year-old has been one of the most durable and battle-tested fighters in UFC history. He’s making his record-setting 48th Octagon appearance this weekend, and he’s seen just about everything the sport has to offer.
And despite his age, “A-10” is still dangerous as hell.
Miller has won two of his last three fights via first-round guillotine choke, including his most recent victory over Jared Gordon (watch highlights). His submission game remains lethal, and if McKinney gets reckless or leaves his neck exposed, Miller has the experience and technique to make him pay.
In fact, I think Miller has a legitimate chance to win this fight if he can withstand McKinney’s insane early pressure.
That’s a big if, though.
Miller is 43 years old, and while he’s remained remarkably competitive, Father Time is undefeated. Absorbing McKinney’s explosive offense at this stage of his career is a completely different challenge than it would have been a decade ago.
And that’s exactly why I love this bet.
Either McKinney overwhelms the aging veteran with his ridiculous speed and power, or Miller survives the initial storm and capitalizes on McKinney’s tendency to fall apart when things don’t go his way.
Both scenarios will produce a finish before the midway point of Round 2.
What could go wrong?
Miller’s legendary toughness could keep him in the fight longer than expected, while McKinney could finally decide to fight intelligently instead of treating every appearance like a 60-second sprint.
There’s also the possibility that McKinney survives his usual early cardio dump and the fight turns into an ugly, slower-paced grappling battle.
But asking McKinney to suddenly become a patient, methodical fighter feels like asking a fish to climb a tree.
I don’t see it happening.
Give me Terrance McKinney vs. Jim Miller Under 1.5 Rounds (-275) as this week’s “Weekend Lock.”
Terrance McKinney via TKO/KO/DQ: +125
