Neil Magny Ties Charles Oliveira for 2nd-Most UFC Wins Ever

Neil Magny is now tied with Charles Oliveira for the second-most wins in UFC history after stopping Ramiz Brahimaj at UFC 330.

Magny rallied from an early scare to finish Brahimaj via technical knockout in the second round Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, picking up his 25th win inside the Octagon. With that victory, Magny sits behind only Jim Miller's 28 wins on the promotion's all-time list, tied for second with Oliveira, the former lightweight champion and reigning BMF titleholder.

Where Magny's Win Streak Ranks Him

Neil Magny has now finished three straight opponents, a stretch he pointed to himself after the Brahimaj stoppage. "Man, it feels great," Magny said. "This puts me at 3-1 in my last four fights; all three wins came by finish, so I feel like I am in a very good position. I feel pretty good about it."

That 3-1 mark covers his most recent four outings. Zoom out further and a different number stands out: Magny's last four losses, spread across a longer stretch of his career, have come against Yaroslav Amosov, Carlos Prates, Michael Morales and Ian Garry, four of the most credentialed names in the welterweight division, including two men considered top contenders for the title and the man who just challenged for it. Losing only to that caliber of opposition while finishing everyone else in front of him is exactly why the 39-year-old has lasted this long at 170 pounds. Magny has been on the UFC roster since 2013 and has built a reputation as a gatekeeper to the top tier of the welterweight division.

What This Means for Magny's Betting Value

Books have long priced Magny as live underdog fodder against ranked names and a heavy favorite against everyone else, and this result reinforces both sides of that reputation. A veteran who only loses to the division's elite while finishing the rest of the field is a live dog worth a second look whenever he's matched against a non-top-ten opponent, and a name worth respecting even when he's not the betting favorite. His finishing rate over his last three wins also matters for prop bettors, since a fighter trending toward stoppages is a different live-line proposition than one who's been grinding out decisions.

Magny doesn't have a next opponent lined up yet, but wherever the UFC slots him, expect oddsmakers to lean on the same pattern: respect for his durability and finishing instincts against the middle and back half of the welterweight rankings, caution the moment he's asked to step back up against a top-ten name.
