Really shocking to see how much taller Magny is now that they're actually in the cage together

— Adam Hill (@AdamHillLVRJ) November 22, 2015

Despite Magny's height, he doesn't do a good job of dissuading pressure with counters or circular movement, as Gastelum is showing now.

— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) November 22, 2015

Big dump for Magnum. Wait… #UFCMonterrey

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) November 22, 2015

Beautiful drop seio nage….right into a back-take. ?? #UFCMonterrey

— Yellow Power Ranger (@Sugarhigh5me) November 22, 2015

Awesome exchanges in @ufc main event…

— Elvis Sinosic (@ElvisSinosic) November 22, 2015

This is further illustrating just what a grappling psychopath Demian Maia is.

Magny doing some human anaconda like things on the ground to Gastelum right now. Super improved technique! #UFCMonterrey

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) November 22, 2015

Magny looking phenomenal right now!! #UFCMonterrey

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) November 22, 2015

Great R1 for Neil Magny. Takes it 10-9 over Kelvin Gastelum and, no surprise here, looks like he's in great shape for short notice fight.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 22, 2015

Rd 1 magney #UFCMonterrey

Neil Magny was overhyped during his winning streak against sub-par opposition, but that round may have been his best in the UFC. Impressive.

— Robert Sargent (@MMARising) November 22, 2015

It's amazing to think Magny was absolutely KTFO by Mike Ricci on TUF and now he's looking like a top 10 WW. #UFCMonterrey

— MMA mania (@mmamania) November 22, 2015

Magny using his reach to keep Gastelum at bay. Big body kick from Gastelum. Gastelum lets some punches go, Magny answers w/a pair of rights.

— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) November 22, 2015

Magny up by two? Not the way Kelvin, or many, thought this would go so far. #UFCMonterrey

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) November 22, 2015

Magny setting up a twister at the end. Nice. 2-0 for him so far. #UFCMonterrey

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) November 22, 2015

Neil Magny up 2-0 over Kelvin Gastelum. Looks great.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 22, 2015

Wow The commentators are ONLY talking about Gastelum. Magny has been in control

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) November 22, 2015

Gastelum's unwillingness to stand his ground and throw back when Magny blitzes him is what's losing this fight for him on the feet.

— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) November 22, 2015

Dang. Joe and I had a bet on the Magny/Gastelum fight. This isn't looking good for me. I haven't correctly picked a fight in 74920264 years

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) November 22, 2015

Interesting fight so far. Magny keeps the pressure on, but Gastelum still has some surprises left in him.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) November 22, 2015

Magny frustrating Gastelum with his reach. Magny fighting smart. Gastelum finally gets good ground position, but not in time to do anything

— Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) November 22, 2015

That's why I love him. So gnarly. Always ready. https://t.co/52mK9hNgfJ

— Coach (@CMPunk) November 22, 2015

Magny up 3-0 over Gastelum. Gastelum's gas tank has held up pretty darn well but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the round it goes.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 22, 2015

Rd 3 magney @NeilMagny 30-27 #UFCMonterrey @ufc

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) November 22, 2015

Gastelum just rocked Magny!

— Bleacher Report MMA (@BR_MMA) November 22, 2015

The time is now!!! #UFCMonterrey

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) November 22, 2015

Gastelum puts Magny down and is swarming on him. He’s got side control and looks to be searching for a sub.

— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) November 22, 2015

. @UriahHallMMA being an unofficial corner man for @KelvinGastelum….and it's working. #UFCMonterrey @ufc

— Kenda Perez (@KendaPerez) November 22, 2015

Gastelum drops Magny again. #UFCMonterrey

— Steven Grossi (@SteveOGrossi) November 22, 2015

@NeilMagny reminds me of a young #jonjones with that size.

— Denis Kang (@DenisKang) November 22, 2015

Might be tied up heading into 5th! Huge 4th round for Kelvin.

— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) November 22, 2015

The scores in this one are going to be really interesting. I gave Gastelum a 10-8 in R4 but had Magny up 30-27 after three #UFCMonterrey

— Damon Martin (@DamonMartin) November 22, 2015

Do you think that might've been 10-8 round for Kelvin?

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) November 22, 2015

Gastelum has rallied back like a true champ should! I have it 2 RDs a piece going into this final round! Who takes this?! #UFCMonterrey

— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) November 22, 2015

Big takedown for Gastelum and this is a great fight. #UFCMonterrey

— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) November 22, 2015

Heck of a physical contest we are witnessing. #UFCMonterrey

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) November 22, 2015

Gastelum pushing the pace on Magny in the 4th and 5th rounds is the last thing I expected to see tonight #UFCMonterrey

— FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) November 22, 2015

48-47 Magny. GREAT fight.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 22, 2015

Great fight from both mangy & Gastlum #UFCMonterrey

— Seth Baczynski (@Sethbmma) November 22, 2015

Really enjoyed that. Hats off to both. And thanks to @NeilMagny for stepping up on short notice to fight 5 against a tough @KelvinGastelum!

— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) November 22, 2015

Who takes this fight? Close one. Was rd 4 10-8 or no? #UFC

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) November 22, 2015

Def a draw

— Edward Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) November 22, 2015

WHAT A FIGHT!!! Who took it? #UFCMonterrey

Magny would've finished if he had Anderson's sex pills ??#UFCMonterrey

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) November 22, 2015

@NeilMagny you the man bruh!

— Boom Boom (@BostonSalmon) November 22, 2015

Close fight but I really did think Magny won the first 3 rds

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) November 22, 2015

I thought it was a decent Decision. I had it 47-47 for a draw. But I'd rather 48-47 Magny over 48-47 Kelvin

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) November 22, 2015

Gotta be a fan of @NeilMagny after that. #UFCMonterrey

— Joe Ellenberger (@JoeEllenberger) November 22, 2015

No 10-8 scorecards from any of the three judges is depressing but not at all surprising. Tonight's judges weren't good at all.

— Robert Sargent (@MMARising) November 22, 2015

Great fight by the way!!

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) November 22, 2015

DAWWW! Split decision?! SHIT! @JoeMurphyBJJ you're only getting 2/3 of what we bet on, then.

— Lauren Murphy (@LaurenMurphyMMA) November 22, 2015

Cool post fight speech from Magny. Hate to see #tuf17 guys lose, but impressive to see Neil have more success than Woodley in early rounds.

— Josh Samman (@JoshSamman) November 22, 2015

Congrats Neil Magny on a tough fight and awesome win on two weeks notice. Looked awesome!!… https://t.co/uqdOCVwv35

Congrats to @NeilMagny close fight along way from @ufc TUF 16. Congrats https://t.co/k7X26pcOj0

Since 1/1/13, Neil Magny has earned more wins (10) than any UFC fighter.
