Neil Magny is still without a fight.

Magny was in contention to fight Chimaev at a UFC event on December 19th. However, the promotion had other ideas and booked the undefeated Swedw to face top contender Leon Edwards for a December 1

Talking to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Magny said he was very frustrated that he didn’t get the fight, and that it went to Edwards instead.

“It was pretty frustrating that I didn’t get that matchup,” Magny said. “But it was even more frustrating that it went to Leon Edwards. (Transcripton via theScore)

“The only thing I can possibly think of that caused this fight not to go through is (Chimaev’s) team thought it was a better matchup for him,” Magny said.
