Neil Magny defeated Erick Silva in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night 74 tonight (Sun., Aug. 23, 2015) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Magny -- who took the fight on two weeks notice -- won a split decision over Silva inside SaskTel Centre. The three judges scored it 29-28, 28-29, and 30-27.
Magny, 28, ended up on top of Silva early on in the first after the Brazilian missed on a poorly attempted spinning-back fist. Silva landed a nice trip for a takedown and gained side control on Magny. The Illinois native escaped and then took Silva's back and landed several punches.
