After five hard-fought rounds, it was Michael Chiesa who emerged victorious at UFC FIGHT ISLAND 8: ‘CHIESA VS MAGNY’. In a grappling-heavy performance, the ‘Maverick’ outworked Neil Magny on the ground en route to a unanimous decision win. On Twitter, professional fighters reacted to the contest.
I am a fan of both these men but styles make fights and I think Magny’s style plays right into Chiesa’s but the Haitian sensation has a way of negating his disadvantages. Let’s see how this goes.

I like how Magny started the round, keeping distance and making it a striking bout.
