If it's a stand up battle I got Borshchev out dogging McKinney, otherwise he gets subbed in the first round.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I dont think I'll ever pick McKinney to win a fight ever again, too much of a wild card

 

[Koala]

A highly resilient fighter against a fighter who gives it all in the first round

 

[Gabe]

I love Borschev he’s never in a boring fight.

 

[Safton]

I could see this going either way, honestly. Both are supremely inconsistent and sort of busts who never reached the levels people hoped for them... but they're also both super violent.

Slava's initial TDD is awful, but he scrambles like a madman and shows a lot of toughness and composure on bottom. He impressed me with his ability to survive Chase's aggressive GnP and numerous submission attempts even after getting dropped right away in the first round. He is definitely the guy with better cardio and striking fundamentals here. I think his chin is starting to go, however.

McKinney will have a massive edge in grappling. To a slightly lesser extent I expect him to be the faster and more explosive/powerful guy, too. But if he doesn't use those advantages to KO or sub Slava in the first half of the fight, he is likely going to wilt and get finished like he almost always does. The dude has no gas tank, no heart for a drawn-out war, and a suspect chin himself.

Slight lean toward Borschev, but I'm not confident. I could see him getting 10-8'd in the first by big shots and a dominant ground attack, only to survive and put it on McKinney in the later rounds when he inevitably loses his steam.

This is bettor's paradise.

Borschev has KO power. Mckinney is a glass cannon.

Under 1,5 rnds/Fight to end in rnd 1 is literally a lock.

 

[Goodfella86]

McKinney via round 1 RNC is probably my pick, until I do more thorough research.

But, I dont need research to bet on both sides of this fight. McKinney round 1, and Slava via KO.

Under 1.5 will be juiced AF likely. But yeah it's hard to see this one (or almost any McKinney fight to be fair) lasting long.

 

[Ares Black]

Rooting for Slava Claus, as always

 

[NoSmilez]

McKinney is allergic to any form of attack coming from the leg. He just can't see knee attacks.

This is the battle of the guys I thought would have been at least top 15.

Las Vegas not Los Angeles*

Solid prelim though

He is unironically one of my favourite fighters right now.

Didn't this Borschev guy get dropped by Chase Hooper? McKinney KO 1

 

[Ares Black]

It's because he wasn't concerned about Hooper's striking and got caught.


Styles make fights.

Exactly.
Dude has 100% finish rate. Even in losses. So it's hard to imagine to have this fight lasting more than 1,5 rnds.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

I like the fight, hopefully will be fun and not a suckfest like so many good matchups on paper end up being.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Great scrap, can't see it going beyond 2 rounds. McKinney by sub.

 

[MigitAs]

I don’t like this for Santa
