Neil Magny
Neil Magny is an American Mixed martial Artist (MMA) who currently competes in the welterweight category of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Born and brought up in Brooklyn, New York, Neil Magny is one of the most known fighters signed under the UFC promotion. Being a professional MMA fighter was never quite the plan for Neil as he was studying to become a criminal lawyer in college but something about the sport attracted him and he went all out with his desires. He had nothing to regret as he kicked off his career with consecutive victories for different promotions. His growing reputation as a skilled MMA fighter brought him to the UFC later in his career and he made his debut against Jon Manley in February 2013. His career has seen many ups and downs during its course, but Neil’s inner strength, emerging from a very tough upbringing, held him strong during the difficult times. His three times ‘Performance of the Night’ bonuses along with one time ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus award, is a testimony to his talent. He is presently at the #8 rank in the UFC Welterweight division.

Neil Magny Gives Update On Potential Khamzat Chimaev Fight

Neil Magny is still open to fighting Khamzat Chimaev next but won’t wait for him. Ever since Chimaev blew onto the UFC scene with two wins in 10 days, he and Magny have been going back-and-forth at one another. Many thought the fight would happen, but Chimaev was then offered Leon Edwards in the main event but ended up getting COVID-19 which has forced him out for months now.

Neil Magny open to Khamzat Chimaev fight, but explains why he has his concerns about waiting for him

UFC welterweight Neil Magny says he open to the Khamzat Chimaev fight, but explained why he has his concerns about waiting for him. Magny had one of his best performances ever as he won a unanimous decision over Geoff Neal at UFC Vegas 26. For Magny, beating someone as talented as Neal proves that he still has what it takes to be a top-10 fighter. It’s not a surprise, then, that so many other top contenders in the welterweight division are gunning for Magny, including Chimaev. The Swede has missed all of 2021 so far due to health issues but he is hoping to make his return to the Octagon this summer, and Chimaev has made Magny one of his targets.

Khamzat Chimaev & Neil Magny Both Interested In Fighting This Summer

Khamzat Chimaev and Neil Magny are both still interested in locking horns this summer following Magny’s victory at UFC Vegas 26.

Magny was able to use his cardio, experience, and composure to turn in a more balanced and fine-tuned performance than his counterpart to pick up the victory. So what’s next? Perhaps the same name that has been entangled with Magny’s for several months now: Khamzat Chimaev.

Geoff Neal explains why he will “probably” take some time away following loss to Neil Magny: “My body hasn’t been right”

Geoff Neal explained why he will “probably” take some time away following his loss to Neil Magny, saying that “my body hasn’t been right.”. It wasn’t that long ago that Neal was someone who fans and analysts were pointing to as a potential future title contender at 170lbs, but he has really struggled in his last two fights, dropping decisions to Stephen Thompson and now Magny, who beat him on Saturday night at UFC Vegas 26. In addition to struggling inside the cage, Neal has also dealt with health issues outside of it. It has made the last year of his career extremely difficult from a personal point of view, and now from a professional point of view as well with the losses.

Neil Magny Takes Pride In His Work

Neil Magny sat back and had himself a little chuckle last year as the MMA world lost their collective minds about the hyper-active exploits of Kevin Holland. “It is kind of funny what short-term memories some of the fans and supporters have,” laughed the veteran welterweight, who makes his second start of 2021 this Saturday opposite Geoff Neal. “It was like, ‘Oh my God — five fights in a year; no one has ever done that!’ and I was like, ‘Slow down. Wait. I’ve done that.’”
