He has been widely considered as being one of the future stars of the sport and since his drop to the UFC's welterweight division he has gone on a nice 3-1 run includingg 2 knock out of the night bonuses over John Howard and Santiago Ponzinibbio.

The No.7 ranked Magny has some big names on his resume which include Kelvin Gastelum, Erick Silva and Hector Lombard.UFC 202 takes place on Aug. 20 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a rematch between the current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz.
