A welterweight bout pitting Neil Magny
against Philip Rowe
has been added to the
UFC on ABC 5 lineup.
MMAjunkie.com was first to report the booking. UFC on ABC 5
takes place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville,
Fla., on June 24 and is headlined by a featherweight scrap between
Josh
Emmett and Ilia
Topuria.
The 35-year-old Magny began his 2023 campaign with a first-round
submission defeat to Gilbert
Burns at UFC 283 on Jan. 21. “The Haitian Sensation” has 29
Octagon appearances to his credit, with notable victories over the
likes of Geoff Neal,
Robbie
Lawler, Jingliang
Li, Carlos
Condit, Johny
Hendricks, Hector
Lombard and Kelvin
Gastelum.
Rowe, meanwhile, has won three straight UFC fights since dropping
his debut against Gabriel
Green in February 2021. During that stretch, “The Fresh Prince”
has finished Niko Price,
Jason
Witt and Orion Cosce
via technical knockout.
