Tonight\u2019s UFC Perth main card lineup featured a highly anticipated welterweight bout between Jake Matthews and Neil Magny. <\/p>\n
Matthews (22-8 MMA) was returning to the Octagon<\/a> for the first time since defeating Chidi Njokuani by first-round submission this past July (see that here<\/a>). Prior to that, the Aussie had earned back-to-back decision wins over Francisco Prado and Phillip Rowe.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Neil Magny (31-13 MMA) was most previously seen in action one month ago, where he scored a TKO victory over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. That win was preceded by back-to-back stoppage losses against Carlos Prates and Michael Morales respectively.<\/p>\n Tonight\u2019s \u2018Matthews vs. Magny\u2019 matchup resulted in a thrilling comeback win for the longtime veteran in Neil Magny. After Jake Matthews appeared to finish the fight in the final seconds of the opening round, the referee decided to go back on his original ruling and let the fight continue into round two. After another strong round for the Aussie, Magny was able to turnback the clock once again in the third and final round by rocking Matthews with a combination and then sinking in a fight-ending d\u2019arce choke.<\/p>\n Official UFC Perth Results: Neil Magny def.
