Magny doing some human anaconda like things on the ground to Gastelum right now. Super improved technique!
Kevin Lee @MoTownPhenom
Wow The commentators are ONLY talking about Gastelum. Magny has been in control
Lauren Murphy @LaurenMurphyMMA
Dang. Joe and I had a bet on the Magny/Gastelum fight. This isn’t looking good for me. I haven’t correctly picked a fight in 74920264 years
The Spartan @EliasTheodorou
What is more impressive? Magny’s performance so far or that he’s doing it on short notice?
Coach @CMPunk
That’s why I love him. So gnarly. Always ready.
Robert Sargent @MMARising
Neil Magny was overhyped during his winning streak against sub-par opposition, but that round may have been his best in the UFC. Impressive.
Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN
Magny up 3-0 over Gastelum. Gastelum’s gas tank has held up pretty darn well but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the round it goes.
Steven Grossi @SteveOGrossi
Gastelum drops Magny again
Dave Sholler @Sholler_UFC
Might be tied up heading into 5th! Huge 4th round for Kelvin.
FOX Sports: UFC @UFCONFOX
Gastelum pushing the pace on Magny in the 4th and 5th rounds is the last thing I expected to see tonight
Derek Brunson @DerekBrunson
Magny would’ve finished if he had Anderson’s sex pills
Damon Martin @DamonMartin
The scores in this one are going to be really interesting. I gave Gastelum a 10-8 in R4 but had Magny up 30-27 after three
Chris Camozzi @ChrisCamozzi
Who takes this fight? Close one. Was rd 4 10-8 or no?
Edward Alvarez @Ealvarezfight
Def a draw
Robert Sargent @MMARising
No 10-8 scorecards from any of the three judges is depressing but not at all surprising. Tonight’s judges weren’t good at all.
TJ Dillashaw @TJDillashaw
Congrats Neil Magny on a tough fight and awesome win on two weeks notice. Looked awesome!!
Kenny Florian @kennyflorian
Magny is a stud. Smart feet = smart fighter. Kelvin is not an easy guy to fight especially on such short notice. Wow.
The Spartan @EliasTheodorou
Not surprised or upset. Saw it either as a draw or Magny win.
Rafael dos Anjos @RdosAnjosMMA
R1 10-9 Magny
R2 10-9 Magny
R3 10-9 Magny
R4 10-8 Gastelum
R5 10-9 Gastelum
47-47 this is what I saw.
