Magny on the fight’s key moment

“The biggest thing was having a sense of urgency. He did a good job of tying me up against the fence and not allowing me to create space and work anything offensive, so it was really about me creating that sense of urgency to break that clinch against the fence and bring the fight back to him.”

Magny on making improvements

“I’m only getting better. that fight shows it. I’m not happy with that performance at all. I know I can do a lot better than that and that fire will just continue to drive me and get back in the gym and work my ass off to get my goals accomplished. I think I’m just starting to scratch the surface on what I can do.”

Magny on what he wants next

“I don’t know how many times I call out (Michael) Chiesa for him to keep ducking me, but that’s the fight I want right now. He called me out when I couldn’t do anything about it. But when I’m healthy and ready to go, he’s nowhere to be found. That’s a fight I’d love to have. I’ll be back in the gym on Monday and harassing (matchmaker) Sean Shelby on Tuesday. … Right now, he’s ranked above me. Right now, he has some steam behind him. I just want to go out there and do my best against him and keep moving forward.”
