UFC Vegas 57: Neil Magny vs Shavkat Rakhmonov Fight Preview
Magny returns to the octagon after his fantastic fight at UFC Columbus against Max Griffin. Neil has always been a go-to guy for the company when they have to test rising welterweight prospects. The veteran is never afraid to test himself against the youngsters who have huge hype behind them. Neil also remains to be the first fighter that voluntarily stepped up to face Khamzat Chimaev when the Chechnyan fighter was tearing apart his opponents in the UFC.
Neil has a record of 26-9-0 in his professional MMA career heading into this fight against Shavkat. Magny currently sits at the #10 spot of the welterweight rankings as he challenges #15 Shavkat. Neil is on a two-fight winning streak and will look to end the hype train of Shavkat in the upcoming fight week. Magny is currently 4-2 in his last six fights and is down to put a show for his fans all around the world this weekend.
Shavkat “Nomad” Rakhmonov on the other hand has one of the biggest hype trains behind him as he continues to boast his undefeated professional MMA record of 15-0. The fighter is a serious competitor for Khamzat Chimaev who like Shavkat is on a fantastic undefeated win streak. Shavkat has cruised through his last two opponents in the UFC with two finishes against Carlston Harris and Michel Prazeres.
This is Shavkat’s first real test in his career in the UFC. The fighter looks to break through the top 10 rankings of the welterweight division with a win against Neil this weekend. Shavkat is strong in all aspects of mixed martial arts and is claimed to be the next champion in the division by many around the world.
UFC Vegas 56: Neil Magny vs Shavkat Rakhmonov Prediction and Odds
Both the fighters are in amazing forms inside the octagon. Though Shavkat has not been tested inside the octagon in his professional career, he still stands a great chance of continuing his amazing winning streak. It will be interesting to see if Rakhmonov passes the Magny test. Khamzat had Gilbert Burns while Shavkat now has Neil Magny. Though we are talking about two different levels of opponents, the storyline is very similar for Shavkat and Khamzat.
Shavkat does not seem to have a weakness inside the octagon and boasts an all-around game. Neil, on the other hand, has the advantage of experience which cannot be acquired in the gym. Magny has not been finished since 2018 and it would truly be a feat for Rakhmonov to pull off a finish in the co-main event. As far as the fight odds for UFC Vegas 57 are concerned, Rakhmonov opens as a -450 favorite while the veteran is a +370 underdog.
