Joe Rogan described the way Aspinall’s fight with Ciryl Gane ended as a “crime” because the matchup was starting to get very interesting. The Brit has been so consistent with stopping his opponents early that his challenger being able to survive the first few minutes suddenly made the clash more compelling.
While Aspinall is still a long way out from being able to fight again due to his eye injuries, another member of the roster is continuing to be the definition of kill or be killed. Terrance McKinney overtakes Tom Aspinall for shortest average fight time after UFC Seattle Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC Terrance McKinney is still without a Performance of the Night bonus after earning his eighth first-round finish inside the Octagon this past weekend. He knocked out Kyle Nelson in just 24 seconds at UFC Seattle, which is shockingly only the third fastest win that he’s produced since signing to the promotion in 2021.
Tom Aspinall held the record for shortest average fight time among fighters with at least five bouts in the promotion and was a lock to keep it if he started taking fights deeper into rounds. However, McKinney not going past the opening round for seven consecutive outings means that he’s been able to claim the top spot, with an average fight time of just 2:16, which is two seconds less than Aspinall. T Wrecks’ has now had five UFC fights that have lasted less than a minute, which includes his 37-second loss to Esteban Ribovics.
