First, Neil Magny put on a clinic against Li Jingliang, picking up a triple 30-27 unanimous decision win over Li Jingliang after 18 months away from the Octagon. Then, Beneil Dariush took a page right out of Wanderlei Silva’s book and after a wild exchange, knocked out Drakkar Klose cold at UFC 248.
On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to both bouts,

Magny looking good going into the 3rd.

Li is going to have to do something big this round.
Li has good head movement and is making Magny miss a lot but he isn’t countering.
