The Haitian Sensation
Neil Magny
Career overview
Neil Magny, a 37-year-old American orthodox fighter with a 31-15 record, has established himself as a welterweight journeyman through a balanced but unspectacular skill set. Over his career, Magny lands 3.40 strikes per minute at 46% accuracy while absorbing 2.44 per minute, reflecting his role as a steady volume striker rather than a knockout threat (7.6 KO score).
His grappling credentials are modest—averaging 2.17 takedowns per 15 minutes at 39% accuracy with 55% takedown defense—yet he has demonstrated submission acumen when opportunities arise. Recent performances underscore his inconsistency: he submitted Jake Matthews in September 2025, but suffered a devastating first-round knockout loss to Carlos Prates in November 2024, preceded by a fourth-round TKO defeat to Santiago Ponzinibbio in 2018.
Magny's cardio score of 57.3 suggests middling conditioning for the welterweight division. With a 4-4 record across his last eight fights and no current ranking, Magny remains a fringe contender capable of grinding out decisions or catching submissions against mid-tier competition, though his age and recent knockout losses raise questions about his durability moving forward.
