Magny, Martin Looking To Make It Two Wins In A Row

Magny returned to action for the first time since November 2018 at UFC 248 in March when he defeated Li Jingliang in impressive fashion in a unanimous decision victory. In total, he has won three of his last four fights and will look to remain active after enduring problems with the United States Anti-Doping Agency that kept him on the sidelines.

As for Martin, he will look to kickstart another winning run. The 30-year-old saw a four-fight winning streak come to an end in a majority decision loss to Demian Maia last year. He rebounded with a unanimous decision verdict against Ramazan Emeev at UFC Moscow in November.

He was initially expected to face David Zawada in April, but that was scrapped due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, he will now get a formerly ranked welterweight in Magny.

UFC 250 will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer. Although there is no confirmation, it is expected to take place at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas.
