Overview
- Finney said the knee injury occurred about 15 seconds into his UFC 325 bout with Jacob Malkoun in Sydney.
- He completed the three rounds and dropped a unanimous decision, marking the first defeat of his professional career.
- He reported undergoing surgery the day after the fight, with his doctor calling it “insane” he competed on the torn knee.
- Fight stats and Finney’s account indicate his offense was severely limited, as he was outstruck roughly 4-to-1 and his lone takedown try was stuffed.
- Outlets cite a typical 9–12 month ACL recovery window, suggesting he will miss most of 2026 with no return date announced.
