Neil Magny enters Saturday’s showdown with a big physical advantage that might prove decisive. Standing 6’3″ with an 80-inch reach—five inches longer than Amosov’s—Magny possesses the type of rangy frame that has frustrated countless welterweights throughout his legendary UFC tenure. His jab and front kicks can keep the fight at distance, disrupting the Ukrainian’s wrestling entries before they grow to be dangerous positions.​

The Jason Jackson blueprint offers Magny a transparent roadmap to success. Amosov’s lone skilled defeat got here when Jackson landed clean power strikes and eventually knocked him out within the third round at Bellator 301. While Magny may not possess Jackson’s one-punch knockout power, his volume striking—landing 3.41 significant strikes per minute with solid 46% accuracy—can accumulate damage over three rounds and exploit the identical defensive vulnerabilities that led to Amosov’s only loss.​

Magny’s front headlock game presents a legitimate submission threat that makes Amosov’s wrestling entries riskier than usual. The Colorado veteran has secured multiple anaconda and d’arce choke finishes throughout his profession, including his recent brabo choke victory over Jake Matthews in September. If Amosov gets overzealous together with his takedown attempts or leaves his neck exposed during scrambles, Magny has the technical skill and leverage to capitalize with fight-ending submissions from these positions.​

The cardio and experience aspects heavily favor the UFC veteran. Magny’s relentless pace and championship-level conditioning have carried him through 36 UFC fights, and he’s proven able to weathering early adversity to complete strong within the later rounds. Amosov, making his UFC debut after limited recent activity and an 18-month layoff to defend Ukraine, faces the pressure of acting on the largest stage while Magny thrives as the last word welterweight gatekeeper who has seen all the pieces.​

Why Yaroslav Amosov will win

• Last Fight: (W) Curtis Millender – SUB R1
• Last 5: 4-1
• Finishes: 20 (9 KO/TKO/11 SUB)

Yaroslav Amosov’s elite chain wrestling presents an awesome threat that Magny has consistently struggled to defend. The Ukrainian boasts 4.8 takedowns per quarter-hour at 48% accuracy, dwarfing Magny’s 2.12 average, while the veteran’s 54-55% takedown defense is strictly the exploitable weakness Amosov’s relentless sambo-based pressure thrives against. Amosov proved he can outwrestle elite competition like Douglas Lima and Logan Storley over championship rounds, and Magny’s defensive wrestling simply doesn’t belong in that conversation.​

Once Amosov secures top position, Magny faces dual dangers from each ground-and-pound and submissions. With 11 profession submission victories—including his recent first-round anaconda choke at CFFC 140—Amosov actively hunts for finishes relatively than settling for control. Magny has been submitted six times in his profession and historically breaks under sustained grappling pressure, making him vulnerable to Amosov’s d’arce, anaconda, and rear-naked choke sequences when fatigued in later rounds.​

The small UFC Apex cage amplifies every advantage Amosov possesses while neutralizing Magny’s primary weapon. Within the cramped confines, Magny cannot use his 80-inch reach to circle away and establish range—he’ll be pinned against the fence where Amosov excels at chaining takedowns and dragging opponents to the mat. The smaller fighting area transforms this matchup from competitive to completely one-sided, eliminating Magny’s ability to implement distance management.​​

Amosov’s championship pedigree and fight IQ give him the mental edge over a fighter dubbed “the gatekeeper.” While Magny has more UFC experience, Amosov defended the Bellator welterweight title twice and built a 27-fight win streak against world-class competition. The Ukrainian’s lone loss got here via knockout to Jason Jackson, not a submission or wrestling failure, meaning Magny’s path to victory requires landing the type of power shots he’s never consistently produced throughout his 36-fight UFC tenure.​

Final Neil Magny-Yaroslav Amosov prediction & pick

Yaroslav Amosov looks primed to spoil Magny’s veteran showcase and make an announcement in his UFC debut. His suffocating wrestling, top pressure, and ending instincts directly goal Magny’s long-standing weaknesses in defensive grappling and clinch exchanges.

Expect Magny to have early success at range before the smaller cage and Amosov’s cage-cutting take over. The pick is Amosov by late submission or dominant decision.

Final Neil Magny-Yaroslav Amosov Prediction & Pick: Yaroslav Amosov (-410), Over 2.5 Rounds (-105)
