Neil Magny moves within three wins of Jim Miller after UFC 330
Magny has fought the who’s who of the UFC welterweight division since making his debut in the promotion in 2013. The 39-year-old is the unofficial gatekeeper to the top tier of the division, having shared the cage with all current 170-pound championship contenders and derailed several hype trains previously. Still going strong, he sees himself eventually becoming the all-time leader for Octagon wins.
“I think Father Time is working in my favor to catch up to Jim,” Magny said at the post-fight press conference. “From durability and timing, I think I can catch that record eventually.”
Top-ranked contenders Shavkat Rakhmonov, Ian Garry, Michael Morales, Carlos Prates, and most recently, Yaroslav Amosov are among those who bested Magny, all of whom are in and around the title mix. Meanwhile, he’s upset several surging contenders during their ascents, including Mike Malott, Jake Matthews and Daniel Rodriguez.
