It was not too flashy, but Neil Magny managed to pick up yet another win over a former UFC welterweight champion at UFC Vegas 8. After three rounds, Magny scored a unanimous decision victory over Robbie Lawler in the night’s co-main event. On Twitter, pro athletes reacted to the match.
If you don’t get excited about a @Ruthless_RL fight....you don’t have an mma pulse in your body. #ufcvegas8

Great round for Magny. He kept that weight on Robbie’s head, that’ll drain your tank. I hop Ruthless can make the right adjustments and keep this fight at his range.
