Neil Magny has a goal in mind after scoring a second-round TKO finish over Elizeu Zaleski<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Neil<\/p>\n

Magny and Zaleski shared the Octagon this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 108. It was a crucial bout for Magny, who was looking to avoid a third straight loss. He was coming off knockout losses to Michael Morales and Carlos Prates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The seasoned veteran proved he still has some juice left in the tank, and he\u2019s back in the win column. Speaking to reporters during the UFC Vegas 108 post-fight press conference, Magny revealed that his goal is to get back on the official welterweight rankings (via MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell everybody, you just have to set those goals and start knocking them out,\u201d Magny told MMA Junkie at the UFC on ESPN 71 post-fight press conference. \u201cGoal 1 was to go out there and get a win. That part is done. Now let\u2019s go find the next opponent, and hopefully it gets me closer to the rankings, and before you know it, I\u2019m right back in there, ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magny admitted that Zaleski\u2019s approach to the fight wasn\u2019t something he was anticipating, but he made the proper adjustments to stay the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, I felt great,\u201d Magny said. \u201cElizeu is a great opponent. He\u2019s a veteran, as well. He made some really good adjustments in his training camp to come out here and fight in a way he thought he had the best chance of winning. He definitely pulled a different approach than what we\u2019re used to seeing from him on film. It just made him be an offensive grappler in that fight, But we\u2019re both veterans, and we figure out a way to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether or not the 38-year-old Magny can climb his way back to the 170-pound rankings remains to be seen, but he\u2019ll enjoy the fruits of his labor for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neil Magny has a goal in mind after scoring a second-round TKO finish over Elizeu Zaleski.
