Aoutneil "Neil" Magny (born September 21, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist. A professional MMA competitor since 2010, Magny has made a name for himself as a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson. He is currently employed by the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), fighting in their welterweight division.
MMA career
Magny began competing in MMA professionally in 2010, making his debut August 7, 2010 against Nolan Norwood for the C3Fights promotion. Magny won the fight via submission (kimura) midway into the second round. Just a few months later Magny again fought for the C3Fights promotion, fighting against Nate Pratt, winning the fight via unanimous decision. Three weeks after his second win, Magny traveled to Indiana to fight for Cut Throat MMA on their November 6 card. Magny defeated Lawrence Dunning via TKO.[1]
Magny won two more fights, bringing his overall record to 6-0, before being invited to compete in Combat USA's Wisconsin vs. Illinois championship series.[2] Magny won his first round fight against fellow Illinois native, Quartus Stitt, via submission (triangle choke).[1] The win moved Magny into the final round of the welterweight division tournament against a Wisconsin fighter.[2] The final round took place on July 21, 2011 where Magny fought against Andrew Trace. Magny lost the fight via submission, marking the first time Magny had lost in his career.[1]
Magny fought one more time before trying out for the popular reality TV series, The Ultimate Fighter.
The Ultimate Fighter
Magny was subsequently selected as a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson. He won the elimination fight in order to get into the Ultimate Fighter house by defeating Frank Camacho via decision. Magny was selected fourth (seventh overall) by Shane Carwin to be a part of his team.[3]
In the first fight of the season Magny was selected to fight against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist, Cameron Diffley. Magny dominated the fight throughout two rounds, and won via unanimous decision.
Magny was then matched up against Team Carwin teammate and IFL and Strikeforce veteran, Bristol Marunde for the quarterfinal round. After two rounds Magny was awarded the unanimous decision victory.[4]
Magny came up short in the semifinls after getting knocked out by Mike Ricci in the first round.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Magny is expected to make his UFC debut against fellow semifinalist Jon Manley on February 23, 2013 at UFC 157.[5]
