Neil Magny’s 25 UFC wins trail only Jim Miller after UFC 330
With 25 Octagon victories under his belt, Magny is now tied with former lightweight champ and reigning BMF titleholder Charles Oliveira in second place, behind only Jim Miller (28). Furthermore, he’s finished his last three wins, which he highlighted in a post-fight interview.
