The fight was a tough one to call, but the judges went with Neil Magny as the winner via a split decision. Magny, with this win, equaled UFC legend Georges St-Pierre‘s record of most wins in the welterweight division- 19.
“I’ve been in this sport for a very long time, chasing a lot of ghosts, so to be up there with one of the greats? It feels amazing, DC,” Magny told former UFC dual division champion, Daniel Cormier.
Although Magny took more fights to reach this feat, it is almost sure that he will break the Canadian’s record. And to do that, he also has an opponent in mind.
