Top welterweight standout Neil Magny got back into the win column by turning away Erick Silva in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night 74 last Sunday night (Aug. 23, 2015) inside SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, despite taking the fight on just two weeks notice.
The split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) is likely to help Magny forget about his submission loss to Demian Maia earlier this month in Brazil, one that snapped a seven-fight winning streak and sent the 28-year-old prospect tumbling to No. 15 in the 170-pound rankings (see them here).
As for Silva?
