Neil Magny gutted out an impressive come-from-behind submission victory over Jake Matthews at UFC Perth, though the win came with a heaping dose of controversy.

Early on, Matthews appeared to be in complete control of the clash. As we reached the closing moments of the first, Matthews managed to mount Magny, cinching in a guillotine choke in the process. Just as the clock was winding down, the referee appeared to believe that Magny had gone to sleep and called for the stoppage. However, when it became clear that Magny was not unconscious, the referee quickly covered his tracks, claiming that it was the end of the round and that the fight would continue.
