Welterweights Neil Magny and Michael Morales clashed on the main card of UFC Vegas 96, in a tried and tested veteran versus up-and-comer match-up. At just 25, Morales was already 16-0 to start the night but essentially still a prospect, while Magny held both the welterweight wins and fights record in the UFC. Early on during Saturday’s contest at the UFC Apex, Morales attacked low with his kicks, but by the second minute, he was playing defense, Magny controlling from the back with a body lock along the fence. The grinding pace was more Magny’s style and allowed him to neutralize the power of Morales. Magny, determined, put his weight on Morales, forcing him to one knee. Morales, however, spun out, landing a spinning elbow in the process that dropped Magny!.
