According to MMA Fighting Octagon veteran Neil Magny is set to appear at UFC Columbus. That outlet states he has agreed to face Max Griffin. However, they add, no contracts have been signed in relation to the proposed bout.
Magny had been one of a number of fighters campaigning to fight hot prospect Khamzat Chimaev. Magny has actually been calling for that fight since the summer of 2020, back when Chimaev and the UFC were peddling the ‘no one wants to fight’ story-line.
Despite claims that the welterweight division was afraid of the undefeated Chechen Magny maintained that this is a fight he wanted to take.
