“Jake Isn’t a Racist He’s Been…” – Terrance McKinney Shuts Down Heinous Allegations Against Jake Shields

Terrance McKinney recently provided shelter to Jake Shields, as Mike Jackson fired critical shots at the fighter. Since the altercation at the UFC Performance Institute, Shields had received a boatload of backlash. However, in his recent social media post, ‘T Wrecks’ seemingly supported the former Welterweight title contender, as he claimed that Shields had stood beside him. Finally, the two went forward and synced their schedules to have a roll on the mat. Nonetheless, his support for the fellow MMA enthusiast was nothing short of a shelter.

Although Shields retired from UFC and doesn’t fight in the contests, he doesn’t stop training at the PI. Surprisingly, his interaction with Jackson didn’t turn out to be peaceful. It resulted in a severe backlash from the world of combat sports directed at the two fighters.

Mike Jackson fired shots at Jake Shields. A lot of heat emanated from the friction between the two at the Performance Institute. Jackson called the former Strikeforce champion a “white nationalist” and much more. However, Shields found refuge in the shadow of ‘T Wrecks’.

Terrance McKinney recently took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself with fellow mixed martial artist, Jake Shields. The UFC lightweight fighter believed that Jackson’s comments about Shields were not entirely true. Moreover, he even declared that it was, in fact, an honor to stand on the mat with Shields.

McKinney wrote in the caption, “Jake isn’t a racist he’s been supporting me for awhile and kept telling me whenever you’re in town swing through. We finally synced our schedules up and it was an honor to roll with him.” Furthermore, he ended the caption with a heads-up to the upcoming UFC 283. He wrote, “See y’all January 21 in Brazil.”

How ‘T Wrecks’ lost the streak in UFC Vegas 50:

‘T Wrecks’ was on a winning streak before he was defeated at the hands of Drew Dober in UFC Vegas 50. The wins included Fares Ziam’s submission with a rear-naked choke and a knockout of Matt Frevola at UFC 263. However, his bout against Dober did fare well for the lightweight star. 

Although McKinney tried his best to finish the fight as soon as possible by handing Dober countless punches, the opponent easily defended himself. However, when Dober took McKinney and pinned him down on the ground, the referee had no choice but to intervene. Later, Dober was the one who rose victorious with a TKO.

Nonetheless, McKinney has kept on his training routine and has been working harder than ever. He would definitely have numerous chances to rise up again. Without a doubt, the fighter is going to be backed by the former Strikeforce champion, Jake Shields, as well.
