LAS VEGAS – Neil Magny knows that just because he has more UFC welterweight wins than Georges St-Pierre, that doesn’t mean he’s had a better career.
Magny (27-9 MMA, 20-8 UFC) submitted Daniel Rodriguez (17-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in the third round of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 214 co-main event to break out of a tie with St-Pierre for most victories in 170-pound history.
It’s a record Magny has been flirting with and on the cusp of for the past few years, and it was imminent the day would come when he would become the first to win 20 times in the weight class. It’s a massive accomplishment, but Magny argues it’s nothing crazy in the grand scheme. St-Pierre is a former two-division UFC champion, a UFC Hall of Famer and one of the most dominant fighters in the history of the sport.
