Neil Magny vs Carlos Prates Prediction: Another Knockout for a Seasoned Star

The UFC Vegas 100 anniversary event is happening on the night of November 10th. Neil Magny and Carlos Prates will head to the octagon in the main event. The fight will be in the welterweight category.

Neil Magny is currently ranked fifteenth in the UFC welterweight division. He's never claimed any serious titles, although he's been on the radar for a long time. He's been alternating wins and losses for several years now, and he's faced some big names along the way, including Ian Garry, Gilbert Burns, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Michael Chiesa, and Santiago Ponzinibbio. Another thing is that, in one way or another, Magny lost to all of them. But that relatively glorious past is gone. Neil Magny quickly turns into a one-hit wonder, and a bout with a Brazilian fighter doesn't seem to promise him anything good. 

We somehow missed this guy's rise, and yet he has ten straight victories (nine by knockout), including three in the UFC. He knocked out Li Jingliang in his last fight, so he'll probably be ready for some actual competition.

Neil Magny really doesn't like getting hit. He's been taking some nasty punches to the face and legs lately, and in his last fight, he lost by knockout. That bout took place just two months ago, and we're concerned about him. Prates packs a punch that's more powerful than that of Michael Morales, who knocked out Magny.

Magny's last two bouts ended pretty quickly, and Prates is no different. We're expecting a fast-paced fight from the outset. The challenge has spurred on the Brazilian and will push the aging star from the start. He's the clear favorite.
