Match report
Rafael Dos Anjos submitted Neil Magny via submission in the first round at 3:43 on September 9, 2017. Dos Anjos dominated the brief encounter, landing 13 of 16 significant strikes (81%) while Magny managed just 1 of 5 (20%).
The Brazilian controlled 3:19 of the round, dictating the pace and positioning before securing the finish. Magny failed to establish any offensive momentum, recording zero takedown attempts and landing only one significant strike before succumbing to Dos Anjos's submission.
The striking disparity—particularly Dos Anjos's 11 of 14 head strikes to Magny's zero of three—illustrated the technical superiority displayed in the cage. The quick submission victory reinforced Dos Anjos's status as a legitimate contender in the welterweight division.
