McKinney lost his last fight to Drew Dober at UFC Vegas 50 after stepping in as a last-minute replacement, after picking up a submission win over Fares Ziam at UFC Fight Night 202 in February. Although the young fighter had tremendous initial success, he crumbled to the experience and durability of Dober. McKinney landed some powerful punches, knees and elbows almost on the verge of a victory. But Dober maintained his composure to survive the initial onrush and utilized his strength and conditioning to change the course of the fight.

Mckinney is keen to bounce back from his setback and remind the world that he should not be counted out as of yet. He reacted to the new on Twitter by saying, โ€˜ August 6 Iโ€™m back ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพโ€™

With the addition, the Aug. 6 lineup includes:

Thiago Santos vs. Jamahal Hill
Vicente Luque vs. Geoff Neal
Miranda Granger vs. Cory McKenna
Stephanie Egger vs. Mayra Bueno Silva
Erick Gonzalez vs. Terrance McKinney
