Neil Magny on his corner not throwing in the towel: ‘Live by the sword, die by the sword’

UFC welterweight Neil Magny took quite a beating from Santiago Ponzinibbio on Saturday night in Argentina. The TUF 16 alum dealt with vision problems from a stiff jab to the right eye in the early rounds, a battered left leg from thudding kicks, all of which punctuated with a right hand to the jaw that sent him face-planted onto the canvas at the 2:36 mark of round four.

Through those beatings he took, Magny says he never considered throwing in the towel in the middle of those rounds, adding he would have been let down if his cornermen did.
