Less than one month after seeing his seven-bout winning streak snapped by Demian Maia, Neil Magny will return to the Octagon and look to get back into the win column. With Rick Story injured, Magny has agreed to step in on short notice and take on Erick Silva at UFC Fight Night 74 on August 23.
The fight revision was announced via UFC.com.
With seven wins in a row spanning February 2014 to August 2015, Magny surprisingly rose into welterweight title contention. However, he failed in his biggest test to date, as Maia submitted him on August 1 at UFC 190.
