UFC 283: Gilbert Burns Crushes Neil Magny in First-Round Submission Win

Magny was forced to tap in the first round of a lopsided affair in the welterweight division.

Make that three-for-three for Brazil.

In a one-sided bout, Gilbert Burns took down Neil Magny and finished him with a head-and-arm choke.

Burns (21-5) made Saturday's win look easy. He has now won eight of his last 10, with the only defeats suffered against Kamru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev. Magny (27-10) could not generate the slightest bit of offense, and this is a damaging loss for him.

For Burns, this is the best result possible after losing to Chimaev last April. He remains a contender in the welterweight division, especially if Leon Edwards is able to extend his title reign.
