Neil Magny and Demian Maia, UFC 190 For UFC welterweight Neil Magny , the roughly eight minutes he spent in the cage with Demian Maia at UFC 190 this past August was about as humbling an experience as a fighter could have. He came into the fight riding a seven-fight winning streak, hadn’t lost in almost two years, and was feeling pretty confident about his chances against the Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist. “I felt great, honestly,” Magny told MMAjunkie. “I had a great training camp, felt like my coaches had brought in the guys I needed to train with, all that. But then getting in there and experiencing his pressure I realized, wow, this guy is on another level.” Maia (22-6 MMA, 16-6 UFC) dominated Magny (17-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) on the mat in the first round, then submitted him with a rear-naked choke in the second , snapping a streak that had at one point seen Magny tie the record for most UFC wins in one calendar year
