Vinny Magalhaes wants to cap an impressive 2018 campaign in the Professional Fighters League by becoming the promotion’s light heavyweight champion on New Year’s Eve inside the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran feels at home in the organization for two reasons: Its format brings out the best in him, and it benefits him financially.
“I feel I’ve always had the potential to perform the way I’ve done so far this season,” said Magalhaes, who has rattled off four straight victories, all of them first-round finishes.
