Neil Magny has his next fight lined up and it’s going to be a challenge.
The UFC announced on Tuesday morning that Magny is slated to take on Gunnar Nelson in a welterweight bout.
Also, the second bout for this event has been announced, which is Brad Scott having a welterweight showdown against Salim Touahri at the upcoming UFC Liverpool event (UFC Fight Night 130).
Magny is looking to gain some more momentum after picking up a win over former title contender Carlos Condit back in December at UFC 219.
On the flip side, Nelson has not been seen in the Octagon since he suffered a first-round knockout loss to Santiago Ponzinibbio in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 113 event in Scotland last July.
