UFC welterweight Neil Magny might return to action soon. The number 8 ranked welterweight is expected to take on Max Griffin at UFC Fight Night 205, according to MMA Fighting.

‘The Haitian Sensation’ last entered the octagon in May 2021. He took on Geoff Neal and won the fight via a unanimous decision. Magny is a UFC veteran, having made his debut back in 2013, and is currently 4-1 in his last five fights. His last defeat came at the hands of Michael Chiesa. He’s been a constant contender in the division for a long time and would like to push for a title shot.

Recently, Magny had been pushing for a fight against the biggest prospect in MMA right now, Khamzat Chimaev. However, that fight doesn’t seem to have materialized. Instead, Magny is expected to take on Griffin. ‘Pain’ is a solid fighter in his own right and is currently on a three-fight win streak.

His last win was over MMA veteran and former interim UFC welterweight champion, Carlos Condit. He also has knockout wins over Song Kenan and Ramiz Brahimaj. Griffin made his UFC debut in 2016 and is on his best run in the promotion till now.
