Magny’s thoughts on the fight: “I definitely thought it would be a close fight. I knew we’d go strike for strike, submission for submission. So I definitely expected a super-close fight. … That first round let me see that wrestling was the only way to break away in this fight and give me an advantage, so I ran with it.”

Magny on if he expected Condit to fight that way: “You just never know. It’s been a while since he’s fought last. He had plenty of things he was working on. I thought his work was more grappling-related based on just how he fought. He went out there, and he put on a great fight. I don’t think the fight was as clear, decisive as it was. I think some of the takedowns is what separated the fight. He seemed like normal Carlos Condit to me.”

Neil Magny on what’s next after the win: “I have no idea where this takes me now. I’m waiting for the phone calls to come in Monday morning to see what’s next. … To close this year out with a big win feels amazing.”
