Neil Magny Scores Comeback TKO, Reaches 25 UFC Wins

Magny's second-round stoppage placed him second on the UFC's all-time wins list.

Overview

  • Magny, 39, defeated Ramiz Brahimaj by TKO at UFC 330 when referee Jason Herzog stopped the fight at 3:20 of round two on Saturday, Aug. 15.
  • Brahimaj controlled the opening round with repeated takedowns and top pressure that kept Magny from mounting offense.
  • In round two Magny reversed a scramble, landed a punishing body shot that folded Brahimaj, then unloaded roughly 15 unanswered strikes that forced the stoppage.
  • The victory was Magny's 25th in UFC competition, moving him into second place on the promotion's all-time wins list and marking his third win in four fights after a loss to Yaroslav Amosov.
  • Despite his longevity and milestone, Magny fought on the early prelims card, a placement that raises questions about matchmaking and could shape his next opportunities in the welterweight division.
