The MMA community went absolutely bonkers as Ismael Bonfim dropped Terrance McKinney out cold with a highlight flying knee at UFC 283

Talk about a way to make your UFC debut in style.

After an appearance alongside his brother on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2022 — where he scored a unanimous decision over Nariman Abbasov — Ismael Bonfim made waves in his first Octagon showing with a knockout of highlight top prospect Terrance McKinney.

After piecing McKinney up in the first round, Bonfim landed an already early contender for Knockout of the Year. With both men near the cage wall, McKinney jumped and landed a knee right to the face of McKinney, causing McKinney to fall to the canvas face first and out cold.

Think about how big of a war Drew Dober and McKinney was. Bonfim just made that look easy.

Bonfim folded McKinney with a crazy flying knee!

His brother is a monster too who will fight later #UFC283

Jesus fucking christ Ismael Bonfim is FOR REAL. I really liked what I’ve seen so far but god damn. Wish he could lead more but his counters are excellent and a legit wrestler too? Get out of here.

Damn, Bonfim is cool as hell. Has some lovely counters, counters actively in combination too which is always nice to see.

Good ideas setting up his work on the lead and he’s very comfortable pressuring and working into his preferred range. Seems to have good TDD instincts

Bonfim looked like future contender material. Absolutely ferocious. Reminded me of Topuria. #UFC283

Prior to the UFC, Bonfim made his name as a veteran of Shooto Brazil and Jungle Fight, as well as two appearances for the LFA.
