I don't think 2-1 Magny is gonna be controversial, Neal just got shut down completely

I think Gillespie deserved his win , fiest fight in 2 years and he showed alot of heart he deserved the win , just because I dont like him doesnt mean I should be punished , If no one likes me here I dont care , atleast Im not a no ball wuss like @TABARNAKK If we could fight in real life , Id be there to meet u

Disappointed I abandoned my boy Magny. Regardless how the scores come out. That's the fighter I thought he was.

Man, I’m most impressed with Magney’s composure come in and managing range against Geoff. Hands of steel is no joke and Magney has been engaging and throwing shots at all range using incredible fight IQ. Geoff can sleep anyone and Magney had a great gameplan. I have it 29-28 Magney.

I wanted to see Woodley vs Magny after Woodley's last loss, but damn that would have been a mistake, Magny would have eaten him up in there with that cardio lol

I’m happy Neil won. Also happy TABARNAKK lost another bet. Makes my day a little brighter.

Yessir. Exactly how I saw the fight playing out. If Neal couldn’t get the KO, he wouldn’t outstrike Magny. Good win for Magny.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s kinda weird Geoff starting losing after he began training full time?

Magny outpoint Neal with his typical strategy: jab and body kicks to maintain distance, use of the clinch, use of takedowns, manage the pace and demonstrate great cardio.
UFC should schedule Khamzat Chimaev against Neil Magny for his return, Magny's career deserves that good pay and the chance to be high on a major card just like when he fought Demian Maia (it was a fight in the preliminaries, but he faced a great fighter like Maia in Ronda Rousey's PPV in Brazil)

@MrXRay step up in competition is a big factor , you can train as hard as you want but if youve never experienced a fighter with superior skills , its hard to adjust once you start fighting
