Neil Magny and Anthony Rocco Martin competed at UFC 250 as the only welterweight match on the card. While it didn't end with a spectacular finish like the rest of them, there was plenty of action throughout the three-round bout.
Both fighters had their moments throughout the fight. While Martin seemed to land the more powerful punches, Neil Magny remained more active throughout. Although his punches didn't appear to be doing much damage to Martin, they did continue to earn Magny points and he eventually paid dividends in the form of a unanimous decision win (30-27 x 2, 29-28).
As the fight wore on, the difference in stamina was what stood out the most. Martin appeared to slow down tremendously, especially in the third round where he was practically running on empty. On the flip side, Magny seemed to gain energy and momentum. While the first and second rounds could have gone either way, there was no question that Magny broke the fight open in the third. He was not only the more active fighter, but he was landing clean shots as a fatigued Martin was simply trying to survive.
Magny, who debuted his new nickname "The Haitian Sensation," moved to 23-8 with the win. He has now won two-straight fights. Anthony Rocco Martin, who appeared shocked by the decision, dropped to 17-6.
