JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Neil Magny is used to being called out by peers in his division, but admits the latest shout he received was a bit surprising.
A mainstay in the promotion’s welterweight rankings, Magny (27-11 MMA, 20-9 UFC) returns to action at UFC on ABC 5 to take on Phil Rowe (10-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in the feature preliminary bout. The event takes place Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, and the main card airs on ABC following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
Magny is entering his 30th fight under the UFC banner, and throughout his run, he has accepted any challenge that has stood in his path toward the welterweight title. Rising undefeated contender Ian Machado Garry is the latest to mention Magny’s name on the mic, which is an opponent that could make sense, should the “Haitian Sensation” get past Rowe on Saturday.
