The read
McKinney's explosiveness and finishing rate make the first round the most dangerous stretch for Miller, who has been finished before.
If Miller survives the early onslaught, his submission grappling and deep gas tank become the bigger threat the longer the fight goes.
A live finish for either man, likely inside two rounds if it happens at all.
The matchup
Miller's all-time UFC experience and elite submission grappling meet a finisher in McKinney whose 18 career wins have all come inside the distance.
McKinney's speed and power make the opening minute the most dangerous stretch of the fight, while Miller's chin and championship-rounds experience have carried him through wars against far more explosive strikers before.
